iOS Only Instant Wireframe

conormcintosh4 — 2023-12-12 03:19:12 UTC

On the add project page you have a "Make Instant Wireframe button". Then you scan the room you are in. Then it appears as a listing on your account. It would have very simple lighting.

Realtime Lighting Technical Test for potential bake-less Wireframes

conormcintosh4 — 2023-12-12 03:24:49 UTC

May look to simplistic (but would look better than no lighting) and may struggle in VR

Fake Specular Highlights to make models look more realistic

conormcintosh4 — 2023-12-12 03:25:18 UTC

May or may not work

Very Subtle Fresnel Effect on Everything

conormcintosh4 — 2023-12-12 03:31:17 UTC

I think it might make things look more dynamic and realistic

Texture Streaming

2023-12-19 23:03:06 UTC

Load model with low-quality textures on initial load and stream in higher-quality textures while the user explores.

First version would be load scene in quickly & stream in higher quality after the fact. Allows dollhouse view while higher quality textures load in.

Second version would bake some sort of zones or load textures based on distance as needed. Allowing us to stream in higher-quality textures as we need them and release them as we move further away, freeing up VRAM usage. This would allow us to maintain high-quality textures over larger scenes, and reduce the initial load time of larger scenes.

Update to Interactive Display (Features/Quality)

2023-12-22 03:23:43 UTC

I would really love to see some improvements to our Interactive Display.

Lidar
Nerf
Tiles

The above link is specifically for Unity and I've found some wonderful uses case HERE relating to real estate case study uses.

Furthermore, I would like to really start looking at highlighting surrounding areas of interest in 3D (tags) like transportation, schools etc, rather than a flat 2D Map.

The sales agent is also trying to sell a lifestyle and not just the dwelling etc

Investigate Using Lightmaps for Life Like

2024-05-01 00:17:04 UTC

I am wondering if instead of using normal bakes, we can bake lightmaps instead of apply that over the top of the existing textures.

If this works it would look amazing

Updates to Listing Editor, add Point of Interest changer

Refactor the Swappers to not be terrible to work with

Slicer Place Selector (Manually choose where the slicer goes)

conormcintosh4 — 2024-06-03 02:46:29 UTC

VFX Experiments - Floating Dust motes, Fake Lightshafts, Butterflies, steam from coffee etc. Give scenes some more movement.

Glass Shader/ URP Distortion & Refraction?

conormcintosh4 — 2024-06-03 02:46:55 UTC

Psuedo working televisions. Maybe show ads for the realitor or smth. Can click on remote to change channels?

conormcintosh4 — 2024-06-03 02:47:05 UTC

Potentially stream Shrek trailer on loop from youtube.

Audio. Any amount of audio. Ambience, button clicks for the UI etc.

URP Lens Flares

Unlit Cloth Shader?

conormcintosh4 — 2024-06-03 02:48:01 UTC

Essentially use a reverse fresnel with a detail mask to fake a soft woven light bouncing effect. Not sure how well it'll work in an unlit scene but be cool to try.

Solomode Render Mode

conormcintosh4 — 2024-06-03 02:48:15 UTC

Dedicated Screen Capture Mode that would allow the following:

Position Camera with Accuracy.
Adjust various settings, exposure, FOV, Panini strength.
Capture a screen-shot.
Email screen-shot to user.

Idea being clients can use this to setup & capture renders of their models to use for other marketing material.

Could potentially also have a floor-plan mode modellers could use to capture floorplans in engine?
Could potentially use the new quality system to load a model with super high-res textures in this mode as frame-rate wouldn't be a priority here.

Sharper textures?

conormcintosh4 — 2024-06-03 02:58:54 UTC

Negative mip-map bias of 0.25-0.5

Focus Based Depth of Field

2D Plane to 3D model

2024-06-04 03:51:57 UTC

Use a 2D plane, read the pixels color and position to place 3D objects like walls, doors, furniture, etc.
