I am Alex and i have been a "semipro" photographer / videographer for the last 10 years.

I am really intrigued by 360 tours. I bought a Samsung 360 camera with my phone back like 3 -4 years ago. And was somewhat interested, but wasn't sure what to do with it... Until I have seen the business aspect of it. I believe NOW is a great time to get this going. People even less want to leave their house (real estate) and want to see a business, gym, restaurant... before you go there.

So i have done what so many of you have done I guess search on the internet and you tube about 360 tours. Came across many tutorials as well as this forum. I gotta say... The amount of info and emails there are, are a bit overwhelming. But I am up for the task.

Here my current gear: 2 DSLR's 5DMK2 and a newer SL2. I bought a Ricoh SC2, since the Theta Z1 is a pain to get your hands on. I own a DJI Spark and a Mavic Air 2.
Got a Monopod and tripod. Work mostly with Lightroom and PS.

I have tried so far Kuula, Metareal and Panoskin as far as software goes.

I feel I liked Kuula the best. It seems to give me the best result in the littlest amount of time. I feel it would be near perfect if i could find out about EXPORT to Google street view for businesses! I couldn't believe that was missing.
Here my 1st example to KUULA.
2nd Kuula Example from the Gamestore

I have tried Metareal, and while the Owner was very helpful online in a Video chat. I felt it is very hard to allign the the pictures with the software options they give you. I have tried for several hours and didn't get past pano 4. While their options of the floor plan dollhouse and in general movement through the Tour itself are IMPRESSIVE, for the money you pay.

Panoskin, was ok. I feel i would really more use it as an addition to Kuula for the missing Streeview part.

...

Thank you so much for your time and support!

Alex


Hi All,

I moved these observations from the "I am new to the WGAN Forum discussion" here.

Your thoughts?

@thereal360 you should give 3DVista a try. It is the most flexible and powerful tool and with 3Dvista quick actions you have a tour builder that is just as fast as kuula. And on top you have VR, Google publishing, virtual staging, 360 video and much more.

I have a kuula pro subscription since 4 years, but I will stop it this year, because with 3DVista I have the one tool, that does it all.

And as soon as 3D Vista gets the depth map integration and if it will be good (transitions, measurements), I will probably also downsize my Matterport subscription.

Hey @meshimages thanks for your suggestion.
Yes I totally have 3dvista on my map. I am just starting off and thought I want to make some money before I invest (more) and $16 a month doenst seem horrible. Still my problem with GSV isn't solved... And that's where I thought about panoskin. But I probably will pull the trigger on 3dvista.

Doesnt kuula has vr as well?
I have seen the German flag... Are you from germany? I am from Saarbrücken.
Have you seen my 2 videos and can give a 360 newbie maybe a few hints?

Appreciate it
Alex

@thereal360 hi, I am from Berlin! 👍

Well, it's all about your editing work and its also about control over domain, seo, analytics, tour features etc.

I have spent so many hours on editing tours on roundme (100 USD py), kuula (100 USD py), Matterport and Matterport platforms (>3000 USD py). Especially Matterport made me rethink the use of 360 platforms. Business models can change from one day to the other.
