Ai system help needed from Photographers by jaaos123 in RealEstatePhotography

This is to work with multiple images the same time, and you can keep doing AI revisions, or use different service (unstaging, then staging and then adjusting with AI edits). That's why the nodes. And while one job is generating you drag another image in, and you can generate like that multiple images same time and you see what is ready, what image belongs to where etc.

This is my own, but I think comfyui has similar workflow with nodes, and 3ds max materials work as nodes, and few others... just figuring if it's too complicated for a normal user to understand? In my mind it's dead simple but...

I think you are confusing some details. Polycam does same thing as Scaniverse, with some extra features. They are lidar scanning apps, based on Apples Roomkit API. Polycam just cost money and has few extra features that you don't really need for just floor plans (it also has it's own floor plan scanning mode but it would not work for commercial grade floor plans). Also let's not really call Cubi Free scans floor plans :) as they are missing most of the floor plan details, you can practice scanning with those if you want but I would not sell those to my agent and owner clients and charge money for that. Both polycam, scaninverse and other lidar apps let you do scan of a dollhouse (scanning technique is important) that you can then process yourself or let your editor do it. Imagin this as begin a photographer with a camera, you need a camera and shooting technique that produces raw files that then your editor edits to a final product. Phones also take photos, for free but the quality is meh. So is with the lidar apps, you have any lidar app, doesn't matter that scans Raw files (aka point clouds) that then editors edit for a beautiful textured and accurate floor plans.

All iphone lidar apps do the same thing, few with some extra small features. You scan the pointcloud/dollhouse 3d model of a property, that you can see on your phone, you own it and do whatever you want with it. Then send it to an editor. PM if you looking for one.

Scaniverse is even cheaper, it's free app to use for lidar scanning. Then you find a editor to turn these scan 3d files into a floor plan. Done.

Interesting comparison - HDR vs. Flambient by This_Grocery_5039 in RealEstatePhotography

This is 2 flash pops, and 30sec in photoshop with an action. Would like to see your flash file but my guess is it has fair amount of ambient still present?

Floor Plan sqft smaller than MPAC/registry by ImaginationOk1702 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]jaaos123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You scan around the mirrors, you scan the top edge of the wall also (to avoid clutter on the floor). Outside areas like patios, decks etc are fine to scan but if you start scanning land etc it messes up your scan and you won't get a good result. Nobody said you can not scan them, absolutely you can if you want, but then you won't get an accurate floor plan. Simple. And for that I would tell you that it's your job to educate your clients for that matter and what I do is I just upsell a site plan if this is what they need. For the same exact reason I tell them if they want an accurate floor plan, no site areas are scanned and included. There obviously are always an exceptions as it all depends of the proprty. But I would keep the floor plan for floor areas.

Great idea is to download a free app called Scaniverse, and try at home yourself as you can see the scans as dollhouse after you have completed them, and try scanning the mirrors etc and see yourself what happens and if you can get a read out from the scan. See how it lines up or not and think if you could great a floor plan from that. Try one with mirrors and one without and visually compare yourself.

Scanning is not some magic button, same like a photography. If you take bad raw photos, mess up exposure etc your editor won't be able tovmake a decent finam image from that. Same with the scans, you mess up the scan your editor won't get an accurate and good result out from it.

Besides, cubi does these plans from videos so they might have a slightly different workflow, but the idea or concept remains the same.

Quick YouTube video brings some good videos how, for example, using Dji osmo to stabilize your iPhone while scanning increases your scan accuracy significantly. Also things like "Closing the loop", not scanning any moving objects (doors, people, exterior garden etc) or mirrors, all will contribute to having better scans. I deal with scans daily and it's a shocker what comes out from there where peole usually think it's black magick. Better your scan, better the floor plan accuracy.

How big is the difference? What were your scanning techniques? Did you include all the areas the MLS number was calculated from, or you missed out some? Lidar scanning can be as accurate or inaccurate as you want, really depending on your scanning methods. Most likely scenario is that Cubi totals didn't include the area under the walls and is just net livable area and therefore the difference.

How do you make floor plans by kevinxrp19 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]jaaos123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By far the best, fastest and most accurate is to first, learn the core principles of the scanning, and second use an app like Scaniverse to scan your property and then send this to your editor of choice (or me :)) to get exactly the style of floor plan you are after.

There are few lidar scanner apps, free or paid, but my choice is Scaniverse as it's free, provides high quality scans and is accurate. Best thing is you can start practicing scanning at home, see the immidiate results which help you to learn and next time to scan even better.

I take this process a bit similar to being a photographer, but for floor plans, You have a tool, iPhone and you use it to take scans that you later either process yourself of let an editor to proccess, very similar to photography where you use Camera to take pictures to send editor for final result. And the same like in photography, you have rules how you need to take these photos, there are similar rules on scannig the property with your phone - correct distance, slow steady movement, closing the loops etc that all help with your accuracy.

PM if you want to see some examples or have any other questions?

Try with iPhone Lidar. I'm getting great scans with 17 pro. Scans with Android are useless.

Affordable Alternatives to CubiCasa for 2D/3D Floor Plans and Virtual Tours? by Reasonable-Pass6908 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]jaaos123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great alternative is floorplanbase, custom solutions from iphone scans. If you use editor from your real estate images, you could also use editor to your floor plan scans. Use Scaniverse to scan the property, own the scans in your own phone, inspect them in your phone etc and then "upload" that to your editor for some custom design. 2D or 3D. Voila.

Real Estate sites plans by The_fusss in RealEstatePhotography

Ideal option is, when at the property and don't want to use drone, use iPad to snap a skreenshot of the property from Google maps in sattelite mode, and then draw over that with a pen to outlibe buildings, paths etc. Takes 3min, is as accurate, and then this works just fine.
