Wavefront Capture Guide

1. Set up for your 360 capture

First impressions matter, so let's make sure your space looks its best:

• Open doors and clear pathways
• Turn on all lights, open curtains, and turn off fans, TVs, or moving objects
• Set your camera video settings to wide angle (0.5x) with 4k 60fps
• Clean your camera lens thoroughly
• Plan your walking path before you start recording

2. Framing Your Scene

This step creates the foundation of your virtual tour:

• Walk parallel to walls with your camera facing forward
• Slowly turn each corner, taking a full 4 seconds for each turn
• After completing the room, repeat in the opposite direction

3. Centering Your Scene

Now, let's capture the heart of each room:

• Face center of room and record camera facing inward
• Slowly turn each corner for 4 seconds
• After completing the room, repeat in the same direction to capture the top angle by lowering the camera and tilting upwards
• After completing the room, repeat once more to capture the bottom angle by raising the camera and tilting downwards

4. Detailing Your Scene

Time to focus on the finer points:

• From each corner, face the room's center and record camera facing inward.
• Capture all angles- side to side, up and down
• For objects in the room, walk around them to capture up and down

5. Blending Your Scene

Create seamless transitions between rooms:

• Start recording 5 seconds before entering each new room
• As you enter, keep your camera facing outward toward the walls
• Repeat the capture steps (framing, centering, detailing) for each room

Pro Tips for Best Captures:

• - Use ultra-wide angle settings (.5x zoom) for best results
• - Avoid recording during direct sunlight, rainy days, or after sunset
• - Maintain a comfortable distance from walls and objects
• - Remember the 4-second rule for smooth, steady turns
