@John Igras - shoot me a message to [email protected] - check out some of what our editor put together on the ground in Chernobyl: https://tourmkr.com/F1IJIhZ78w/11545920p&323.19h&47.02t

@Rene Unger this is my editor! He is from Ukraine - has done some incredible work in the 360 space

@John Igras not about it "not working" - about people not easily seeing it. We don't look "bottom left", we don't brand "bottom left". Most of my users are going to be first timers and want to dumb it down as much as possible - even the logo they have in the bottom left, I wish it was customizable. Wishful thinking!

@John Igras I pay others for that. Lol. We have splash pages that lead to a 2D of the floorplan (so it's full sized), and then go wherever you want in the tour from there. We also put highlight videos into the front parts of the tour that are big selling points (vacation rentals) - and the floorplan being open upon launching just doesn't visually "do it" for me. It's a small thing - and we have workarounds - always learning and always improving!!

@Zach Calhoon - do you have a completed demo example for this? I have a brokerage who is looking to have us go hit their portfolio - I'm going to do a test run with one of their Properties next week but wanted something to reference to? Thank you!

@Douglas Lufkin thank you so much! It is a work in progress as we are streamlining this creation for other projects we have on the books. You tell me your thoughts on this one - and this is the "why" I did it: - The splash page- I agree. The home is located in an 803 home purpose built resort that we recently redid their entire media portfolio for. We have a lot of clients here, but all of their homes look exactly the same on the outside. I had my assistant throw together a collage with the controls and welcome video just as a "starting" point. Some of the photos were not finished yet so these are from the original PM's shoot (which was average at best). We are changing that out to be less "distracting". - The video - we have highlight versions and resort specific versions and left the walkthrough in this specific one as this will be the version that is linked to their OTA Listings. - The other versions of the tour we are cloning will be for after the guest books and will have FAQs, video tutorials (how to use sauna, order groceries, etc) built into it like a virtual 360 Touchstay. - That image behind the "Click any floor to begin" is a filler for right now. It looked odd with the empty space, design isn't my thing - and I had my assistant just throw that in there for right now. That whole pano will be redone and cleaner on the final version. - I used the arrows for navigation and the "sphere" is how to get back to the "main area" of each floor. There are so many rooms upstairs, when I first built it out, it left way too many arrows floating around, and on mobile, you would get stuck in a room and needing to click 2-3 times to get back to that central "hub". So I did the "main areas" as that "hub" and then you can go to any spot and back (using the sphere) from there. I played with that a lot and this one seemed to get the most positive response from the users I've had run through both versions. I would love some ideas on that - I used the sphere because it stood out (and made it bigger) so you could always "get back" - I left those floor plans floating in those "hub" areas so you can see the overall layout of each floor, mainly for upstairs, where there are 7 different bedrooms. I did the 3D scan using the CloudPano floor planner... the results are not really great, so we put the room logos over the center of each room to help ID which room was which and to hide all of their mistakes. (I have used the scanner a few times, that's something they definitely need to improve upon to charge what they do in that 3D space. We are using another service until CouldPano upgrades their support and customer satisfaction features there) - We add these photobooks in for the OTA (VRBO/AirBnB) specific version of the tour. These match the photos that are on the Listing and help add 3rd party validation that this is the actual home you're in and not being bait & switched. The current parameters of those books leave the sizing limited, I have my web guy re-writing that code so they open up larger without needing to click the "full screen" - That logo will kick to their booking site on their published versions and not to Cloud Pano once we white label the URLs. The one on my website goes to my contact page etc. I do think I missed that one on that current tour, THANK YOU! - The logo was something I did on the fly to get the owner's approval on, and I'm going to have my assistant redo it to be a circle and not an oval for those same reasons you mentioned - I hate being able to see the drone - the harness we used, that's what we got. Outside of enlarging the nadir (in the aerial shot there is a video to the resort items), how do you normally hide that? Is there software that does it? I only use that scene because the owner wanted it in there... we remapped the entire 200+ acres of the resort with 3 drones, and I wanted to use that as a general map... but he really wanted that shot for some reason lol. On the other versions of the tour (not OTA versions), that drone won't be there.

@Al Muniz thank you! Just updated link with a few changes for ease of access. Fun place to work on! https://5strguestbook.com/orlando-dreams/
