That's very nice! A beautifully designed house, with excellent modeling and rendering. The problem is that it is too perfect. Everything is pristine in every way. Real life has some smudges, scratches, surface irregularities, and asymmetry. In the opening shot, the atrium, the blanket on the couch has wrinkles, which is great, but the couches mirror one another, including the blankets. So do the palms by the doors. Move them around so they aren't identical, and re-do the cloth simulation on one of the blankets to introduce some irregularity. On the Guest Room Balcony, put some dents in the lounge cushions to show they've been used. The palms are all the same, so add some randomness in scale and rotation on the Y-axis. The fires along the pool aren't convincing, and the waterfalls don't splash or break the surface of the pool. The candles are all the same height. The leaves of the plants are very opaque – light isn't passing through them like one would expect. It takes a bit to notice these things consciously, but I think the subconscious picks up on it. That being said, it's a very impressive tour and well done. Just mess things up a bit and it'll be perfect! 😜

Hi Dylan, here's a link to a tour I did with the Insta360 One RS 1-inch. https://tours.lgd-360.com/tours/7lHNP2IPo. These were shot RAW, color corrected in Photoshop, then enlarged, de-noised, and sharpened using Topaz GigaPixel. While the X3 is showing its limitations in your sample tour (noise, soft image quality, and jagged diagonal lines), the issues can be fixed with some time in Photoshop to adjust the green-blue color cast, add some contrast to the image, remove the tripod feet and shadows, as well as camera reflection in mirrors. I've attached a quick clean up of one of your thumbnail images as an example of how the original can be improved and what a change it makes. The views out the windows looks oversaturated and blown out. In the future you may want to look into exposure stacking (HDR) to get a better balance between indoor and outdoor lighting, but for now you could simply desaturate them. Also, your light sources are showing smears, so make sure to clean your lens before each shoot.

@Dan Newell Hi Dan, noise is a grainy quality to an image, due to improper exposure/camera settings. Here's a sample I screen captured from the tour mentioned in this thread. Sometimes it's subtle, like grains of sand on an image, and sometimes you get the effect happening in the upper left where there are blobs off teal and magenta – like those "are you color blind" tests. Noise isn't an issue of focus, rather it's the sensor not getting enough light to determine what color that pixel should be. An ISO setting too high introduces a lot of noise. If you are shooting in a dark environment (poorly lit room, stars in a night sky) don't increase the ISO, rather increase your exposure time. There are software and filters one can use to reduce the amount of noise in the finished photo, but it's best to do all you can to avoid it in the first place. I'm not aware of a Dummies book to refer you to. Experience is the best teacher. Make a tour of your own living quarters and study it, then do it again to make it better. You want to cover a room well so all aspects are clear, but you don't want to do overkill like Matterport tours with panos every 6 feet. Center of a room is good. If it's a large room, maybe two or 3 shots will be needed. Again, trial and error is the best teacher. When you can't improve on the tour of your own place, ask a friend if you can shoot their place. Take them to dinner or a ball game or something in return. This gives you more opportunities to practice without the risk of messing up with a paying client.

Hi Curtis, for a first time, it's great! A couple of things to think about for the next one. First, before starting, put on all the lights in the house, and open the blinds a bit to let in some outside light. That'll make the rooms more evenly lit and welcoming, and less claustrophobic. Going into a dark hall is not inviting. Watch the orientation from leaving a room to entering the next one. In several the viewer gets turned 90 to 180 degrees, which is disorienting. There seem to be some extra circled arrow links floating around. Most of the links are circles on the floor, which are easy to see and follow. There's some color shift from room to room, but there's a variety of bulbs in the fixtures, so that's the culprit. You can fix some of that in post. Extra credit if you paint out the tripod, shadows, and reflections in mirrors! Good job!

That's gorgeous!

Your website looks fine -- clean layout, nice differentiation of headline and text fonts. Easy to read. You might create better visual separation between your masthead and the rest of the page. It's a lot of white. I'm not sure why all your graphics and tours are square. That's not so much a criticism, more of a comment that it perplexes me. There's a lot of text, and much of it is not helpful, meaning it does compel someone to purchase. I'm not getting a lot of enthusiasm and energy from the text. There's a lot of back-and-forthing, such as "Floor plans can be included (but don’t have to be)." A more compelling rewrite might be "Floor plans are an excellent option that allow viewers an easy way to jump from one area of the tour to another." Some technical/grammatical issues to watch for: The headline, Sample Tours, there's only one, so it should be Tour. Add the "s" when you have more than one on the page. "1. _Tours_ can be embedded ... _It_ can be...." Either be singular or plural, but don't switch from one sentence to another. Businesses will likely have one tour, so remain singular. "Your tour can be ... The tour..." Regarding the mall tour demo, it's unfortunate that it was an overcast day when you made the drone shots. It's a bit dreary. You might brighten the shadows or brighten the overall exposure and increase the color saturation to perk it up. I'm not sure why you are so high up, so far away from the building, and only remain outside. You could go back and take a pano outside the main doors of the mall, then go in and take a photo of the entryway. (Some malls do not like people taking photos in their mall. If the guards ask you to stop, apologize, and put your gear away.) I think most businesses would be more interested in showing the interior of their location, not their exterior. Moving to the Quality Comparison page, you get very technical, discussing the various cameras and their resolutions. Prospects don't want a lecture on the complexities of cameras and file resolution. They want to know that a virtual tour will bring customers in their door, increase their SEO, help them go viral, add to their social media hits... Clearly solve a problem they have.
