hey there, this video was meant as a quick introduction to the software but not a step by step tutorial, as there are a number of ways to get it up and running, dependent upon the system your using to run it. How are you planning to set this up? Some are much easier than others.

haha, no need to apologize Angelo, you do you! good luck!

in my case, its the spongy looking reservoir with the thin metal grate on top, which has a bit of sheen on it from already having a bit of water and/or some liquid ink in it.

good eye, maybe you should be giving the tutorial! haha. if you see the frame at the beginning of the video, that was the version I delivered and I probably glossed over that small spot while trying to vocalize everything I was doing for the tutorial version while keeping it brief as possible. in any case thanks for watching Vic and leaving a comment! all the best in your endeavours.

@@cgardinerphoto Well all's good then

hey @johnsontali3480, thanks for watching and leaving your comment. in the time since ive made this video, the official docker version of Kiwix has been removed from docker hub and can now be found on the the GitHub container repository instead. I think this is the one you'll want to use now; github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools

hey there, thanks for your comment - and for being one of the 15 people to watch this. hahaha. I've thought about what you're asking before - my use case would be more to do with making realistic fake twilights where the lamps cast appropriate glow onto portions of the exterior. something like blender COULD do this, however, it may be time and cost prohibitive because you'd need a fairly accurate 3d reconstruction of the exterior for it to catch all the lighting properly. AI is getting pretty good at generating 3d mesh from a single still however, so the mesh generation may not be far off from where we are today. Also gaussian splats could get you a half decent starting point, but would still need some post processing to do the lighting and then composite it in. And then I've also played around with some style transfer AI to train it on two sets of images - cloudy exteriors, and blue sky exteriors, and then it will try to convert cloudy to blue sky, (or vice versa) however I need a beefier GPU to make it more viable - I was maxing out around 1000px images so that project has been sitting on the back burner.. for now, I just settle for doing the old fashioned blue sky swaps with photoshop. I've got a tutorial about how to make blue sky swaps, and IMO I share some tips to make them a little more realistic than what you may get back from an (or most) outsourced editor team. But this is pretty standard practice so Im assuming youre not as interested in it; ruclips.net/video/VLzeQbKBOxs/видео.html

@@cgardinerphoto Sky swaps are good but I want to use AI to somehow add lighting and shadows from trees and shapes etc. I don't even know if this is possible but imagine AI looking at a scene and knowing the objects and how the light will hit it causing highlights and shadows.

hey, thanks for your comment and watching the video! I have some experience in 3d software and design so when it comes to more complex tasks or where this platform is likely to have some shortcomings, I tend to do those myself. I do have a tutorial about how to take that on yourself however, you can check it out here if you're interested; ruclips.net/video/hQuEnkEs3R0/видео.html -- good news is you can get started for free though!

hey Daniel, thanks for your comment. it can be installed directly on device - not sure about e-readers, but windows/Mac/linux computers should be no problem, however, if you install it on one device attached to your home's internet router for instance, you can make it available to every device in your home regardless of whether 'the internet exists' anymore or not because its being served locally - you'd only need power for the device (minimal in the case of a raspberry pi) and power for the router (also usually minimal). this is how I have it set up. the ZIM files can be quite large too, so to distribute those across any device you want to be able to access it on would make for a lot of extra storage space required.

@@cgardinerphoto Thanks for the response, but I'm asking if kiwix can be installed directly on an SD card, flash drive, etc. and then be transferred from that to a phone or computer. I'm imagining a worst case scenario where you have to bug out and then your phone that has kiwix installed breaks and you have to scavenge for a new phone. If there's no internet then the only way to retrieve kiwix would be if it was transferable from one storage device to another.

@@daniels1485 hi Daniel, I probably misunderstood your original question. lets take the case of an iPhone, you could store your ZIMs and the source for iOS platforms on an SD card and build it yourself. here is the source for iOS. not for the faint of heart by the looks of it though. And they provide similar source code / build options for androids. [[ edited to add: you'd probably still need a computer to build it and deliver to your phone though. ]] kiwix.org/en/applications/ github.com/kiwix/apple The problem (I have) with cell phones is they're consumer devices which keep a lot of the back end functionality just out of reach of normal users, proprietary batteries, etc, plus who knows whos watching me. Anything you can load linux onto is effectively the total opposite of a consumer device, all of its functionality is at your fingertips, and personally I prefer that route. -what I might recommend for a similar level of security in similar situations, is get two raspberry pi zero W 2s. they're maybe $20 each. they're 1/4 the size of a cell phone too, so easy to tuck into a first aid kit, or bug out bag lets say. they can run on little phone charger battery packs even, or anything you can plug a USB into. -get the system set up on the device for one, where the pi zero w becomes your wifi access point, no router needed. a tiny bit of coding needed but really not that hard. -once the first pi is functional for this purpose, use the built in SD card imager. this just duplicates your operating system and everything else with it, and you can do this infinite number of times. it makes a backup of the system in its current state. you could plug those newly imaged sd cards into your backup pi when your first breaks and functionally, you'll have the same working version just a different physical copy of it. I use some raspberry pis in my work, (not the zeros for what I do) but I have backup hardware (extra raspberry pis) and backup, already-imaged SD cards in the case one of either piece gets exploded/set on fire/soaked with water/other unfortunate events. best of luck to you! thanks again for watching!

tiff should work just fine, however I personally tend to work from jpeg formats. but if you watch your output folder mid-process you'll see it uses lots of tif files in the intermediate steps so the support is definitely there, I just can't speak from experience on starting off with them.

hi Lucie, not sure I understand the question entirely. do you have Final Cut Pro version that allows you to track a point in your footage? if you're not seeing some of the options I am showing here, identifying your FCPX version might be your first step.

Yes I have Final Cut Pro but my side screen did let me grab down to tracker bit .

hey, thanks for your comment and for watching the video. you're not wrong either! although there's some element of 'buyer beware' and a responsibility to provide their own due diligence through home inspections, asking questions, etc. Its still a good skill to have. Just today for instance, shot a place, and not everything was photo-ready upon my arrival, the fireplace was eventually turned on for video however, I had already shot stills in that room, so I've added fire to the fireplace. also, when youre concerned about these matters, its always smart to deliver the original and the photoshopped copy, and then the onus is on the realtor to decide which one is more appropriate to use. As a photographer, I produce images as requested, but im not there to supervise the realtor and the operation of their business. anyways, all the best and thanks for stopping by.

btw, if you watched, I do mention exactly what you've said as far as considerations with the realtor to ensure you're not misrepresenting, around (0:45) in the video, right off the hop!

@@cgardinerphoto Understandable, the responisibility is ultimately up to the realtor to ensure the client is fully informed.

@@MidnightTheory absolutely agree! and this is why there should be two experienced realtors in every transaction; the listing agent's job is to market a property in its best light for the seller and net them top dollar, and the buying agent's job is to ensure their client is fully informed and not overpaying for said property, exactly as you've stated ;) thanks again for the chit chat! and welcome to RUclips, I see you're new around here. Are you a fellow real estate media provider like myself? Ive got lots more tips on my channel about how to create high quality marketing for properties, as well as some other avenues in photo and video - you might like to have a look around.

hey Kyle, thanks for your question. just tested your situation; for context, I'm imagining you find a shot where your gimbal was slightly off, and you may want to rotate by 1 degree lets say? -- no, I dont currently have anything built into the generator to facilitate that. however, scaling the clip inside the generator without affecting the boundaries - yes we can do that. You'd double click the offending clip inside your viewer, and then you'd be presented with the regular dashed lines and blue circles around the corners to resize however you wish. for rotating, two options; 1)rotate the clip on its own and then make it a compound, and then use the compound clip asthe source of the drop zone. 2) I could probably work out some kind of rotation slider for each drop zone, however, we'd then need one rotation slider for each drop zone, and it might present further complications, and/or not work as I'm expecting it to in my mind right now. in any case -- thanks for watching, and sharing your ideas!

thanks for watching and I'm happy to hear its been helpful for you!

hey Sam, thanks for watching. and great question. all of this is render. the original room/photo was an unfinished basement from a regular DSLR and we wanted to highlight what a nice renovation could do to the space for a real estate client. in the interest of making the 360 rendered video, being a personal project using the same scene, I just put some extra walls behind the camera so we had something to look at if anyone turned in that direction. if on the other hand, you are aware of an easy workflow to take real 360 photos and pull them into blender for alignment (like ive demonstrated in another virtual staging video I have using fspy and blender) then I would be happy to hear more from you about it though! there are definitely ways to take your photographed scene and 'project' those captured colors and lighting onto the 3d mesh, which I do demonstrate that in a virtual staging with blender video, but haven't got it working with a 360 original photo. let me know if there's any other questions you have, or something you're trying to achieve though, and id be happy to share whatever else I know.

@@cgardinerphoto Thanks for the info Chris. Seeing your virtual staging video actually got me to FINALLY start learning Blender about a year and a half back. I'm really thankful for it. I recently started looking into how to get 360 scans into Blender for doing Matterport staging. It's crazy how much harder it is than for a 2D photo with fspy! It gets so complex so fast. I've tried a few things that haven't worked at all. I even spent/wasted the $50 on the MatterPak .obj file. The mesh is awful, and probably only works well if you're using a Pro3 camera. Something I'm going to try when I get a few spare minutes soon is a workflow for krpano, with a projection add on that I can't remember the name of. If I make any viable progress with it I'll shoot you an email.

He said that you dont need to sand it if you use the yellow mod podge, so can you please Tell me what I have to do in exchange if I dont sand it?

@zorawthustra I will be honest I am not sure. I would think you would have to sand allow it unless trying to thin it with water. Can you explain what you are trying to achieve.

I'm happy to hear that this video helped you in some way, Madeleine - and that sounds like an extraordinary project you're working on! I hope it goes well!

while there are lots of brands of resin out there, yes I am sure some people are making those things with this product as well. I've also used art resin which is another similar, and high quality product. Thanks for watching!

hey! thanks for watching and leaving your comment. Theoretically, yes, if you have power to the device that is hosting it you can access on that device. If you have power to that device and some network infrastructure you can access from any device on your local area network. I've hosted mine so its available to anyone who is at home on my wifi. Using docker, and portainer was how I set up my server for this. However, the Kiwix:KiwixServer docker image has been removed. It is now maintained on the Github Container Registry, however I am not sure how to use portainer with docker (as in my case) in order to make it the easy process as I've somewhat demonstrated here. Anyways! good luck with it and thanks for watching.

It’s ok even if you dont sand it? Or you do something else in exchange?

Just the spray. Light coats but no sanding.@@zorawthustra I'm going to try a more viscous mix to lay down the glue between the backing and the print. Kind of like 3M 77 without the toxins.

yes, seems aurora in general has been retired and whatever remains has been blended into Luma AI I think. soooo... you may have more luck with that. in any case - thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

hey, you're right - despite it being a part of my business for recent years, its seems I stuck to strictly interior views for this slideshow. to be fair, the drone didn't become an offering until the latter half of the video anyway around 2017. but.. if you wanted to have a look of my more real estate specific work - it has its own channel here, where I host client videos separate from this channel; ruclips.net/channel/UC-E9Spkn0etxqRQsfI7ErbQ @collingwoodrealestate

awesome - I'll check it out and subscribe@@cgardinerphoto

sure! what sort of tutorials might be helpful to you if you dont mind me asking? thanks for watching and leaving your comment!

Hi @BryanWomackART, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Its been a while since I've used this printer so my memory might be a bit spotty but... I seem to remember one way of powering down the machine in order to have the tray not locked in place and manually positionable to the location I pictured here, what that is I can't quite remember but it *could be* removing the plug from the wall while the carriage is in motion so the locks don't engage. I hope it goes well for you!

Hey thanks, that worked. I’ve done the cleaning part as shown and it made a difference accept for the black. That one color won’t print. Ugh

Actually, I was able to figure out, simply have to configure the assistant panel: Assistant: load image (36 mp full frame FX sensor nikon d810 circular fisheye, cropped square to edges of circle); set as full frame fisheye; focal length 8 ; focal length multiplier 1.18; set image sliders to vertical and horizontal FOV 180; click align, click create panorama (since only one image is supplied, it ignores the stitching function) , set pixel dimensions to desired level up to original image size, save .pto first, then image is exported. Voila! I processed a left and right fisheye of same scene, put together as side by side 3D in photoshop, they came together beautifully as stereo 3D VR in the Quest 2 headset. Thanks for introducing me to Hugin!

hey! happy to hear your success story! you're using Hugin for a process I haven't, but that's great that its working for your use case. I've got a quest myself and this sounds like an awesome idea to try myself. Thanks!

Hey Neighbour! 🖐 Thanks for stopping by and saying hello! And nice footage of your own you’ve got there - looking forward to seeing more.

you can get prints quite large. biggest I've done is about 13x19. getting a clean drop onto the glue will get more and more precarious as the paper size increases I would think.
