Im trying to sell my house...

[alfa147x]

My parents asked me to make a virtual walk trough does any one know a tutorial on how too??

THANKS a LOT !!!

lol, perhaps your parents are asking too much? I'd say some pictures would suffice.

I know you can make a panoramic picture with a tripod, a camera, and software which I _think_ is called Quicktime VR. This was 6-7 years ago in high school though, so maybe you can make something more advanced with it these days...

Are you selling it yourself? Otherwise, a good RE Agent can probably get this done for you.

Put on a suit, get a digital camera and make a video with yourself talking & taking people through the house.

:thumbsup: good idea.

The complex way would be to create a 3d model of the house and create a quicktime vr file but that would be very time consuming and probably not very practical.

The video is a great idea, but honestly, all you need are good pictures. Most states have a Multiple Listing Service site operated by the state-wide MLS association. These sites host pictures, and I think in some cases videos. When we were buying four years ago we didn't look at anything that didn't appear on that site with pictures, but honestly, a "virtual walkthrough" would not have made much difference. We used the pictures to rule properties in or out, not to get a detailed idea of what they were like.

Yeah they obviously don't know what that would take or they wouldn't have asked it of you.

I like the video idea too, but still think pictures are fine.

EDIT: What about making like a webpage that has a simple footprint type layout of your house that they can click on the various rooms and each one goes to a page of pictures of that room. Gives the illusion of traveling through the house if the right pictures are taken.

Just find the level in Doom 3 with the closest layout to your house and use that. *Monster closets not included.

take pictures and be done with it

Don't mind the blood spatter on the walls , or the creepy guy running towards you with the Chainsaw...he doesn't come with the house.

i think you should de-couple the 2 tasks. it's a good thing to
learn how to do, the virtual walk-through, but, why tie it
to the selling of your house ? pictures work great.

Autodesk has a very good full-function demo of 3D studio
max 8, on their website.

a year ago, it was revision 7, and then they were also
giving away the tutorials, which are superb.

incidentally, the tutorials, which consist of a big tutorial
program, have a whole bunch of example files. you open
up the sample file when you do the tutorial.

one whole chapter of the files is on a walk-through of
a house.

it takes time to learn ... it's good to learn. i say, take
a WHOLE BUNCH of pictures, pick the best ones, put
them online. get, hopefully, a good price for your house.
find a friend who is eligible for the educational software
discount. i'll stop there.
