How to 360 photograph a large boat in a boathouse for dollhouse view?16103

Hi all, I'm fairly new to 360 virtual tours, I use the Ricoh Theta Z1 with Matterport app, have been using it a couple of weeks now. I've been trying to do a virtual tour shoot at our town's lifeboat station and have a shoot at the museum tomorrow which has a number large boats inside but I can't seem to work out how to successfully shoot it so that the meshing works and it provides a decent dollhouse view showing the boat properly. The boat is on a carriage so the hull is about 3ft off the ground and the top of the boat is about 9ft off the ground. If I start at ground level and go around the boat all it's getting is the hull so I tried reshooting it with the camera 12ft up on a large lightstand and then shoot another sequence of scans from the usual 5 ft stand I use but that doesn't see to be working either. I'm wondering if anyone else has found a solution to shooting really big objects/boats/vehicles in a room. I potentially have a camper van show room to do in a couple of weeks and would like to be able to get the roofs of the campers in for the showroom dollhouse view so presumably that will require shooting a sequence at a much higher level and then hiding those points for the virtual tour. Is shooting at different heights going to confuse the software? Have spent hours Googling & looking on YouTube but not found an answer yet so would really appreciate any tips please? |

Thanks Dan, yes I have tried that option but it seems a real shame to have to disable it. I’d really like to work out a way to shoot it so that it works. | ||

@ChrisTaylor Do you have a photo of the boat house that you can post here? It might help understand the challenge. Best, Dan |

Thank you - the virtual tour is at the link below but it has lots of issues. Will reshoot if I can work out how to get it working for this space. I think the sides of the trailer aren’t helping either. https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=FnwU76GFBnf |

Thank you, I haven't bothered trimming this one yet as it just looks so bad I didn't want to spend any more time on it if I'm going to re-shoot it. It may just be that spaces like this are outside of what is possible with the technology right now. | ||

I believe it looks bad because you are using a one click camera. If you use a Pro2 it will look much better. | ||
