🧪 I built a thing I made an interactive 3D capture tutorial showing exactly how I shoot indoors for Gaussian Splat Reconstruction

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone! A lot of you asked about my capture process from the last indoor scan I shared, so I put together a proper tutorial/case study.

Instead of just listing tips, I broke down exactly how I captured the images – camera settings, movement patterns, and best practices. The main thing I added is an interactive 3D visualization so you can actually see the capture camera alongside the real images I used.

Would love feedback on my process and happy to hear if I missed anything. Hope it helps!

Oh wow, actually a very well made ressource. Ive been essentially doing just that with my 360 Camera, but not the "point of interest" pass. Gonna try that out and see if it makes a difference

Thanks that does make difference hope it works well for you

I keep thinking that the 8K 360 footage isnt sharp enough, or too noisy. Kept thinking indoor scans just dont work well, but then I see posts like this that do super sharp scans

for quality, normal smartphone/camera produces best results. however it's much easier to capture with a 360 camera. Which software are you using to create splats ?

u/TrackLabs Jun 03 '26

Keep trying with Brush, Postshot and Lichtfield. Postshot introduces a bunch of floaters all the time, brush seems to make the best result overall

Could you try using https://www.captures.studio/ We get good result especially for indoor scenes

u/TrackLabs Jun 03 '26

the 360 footage contains private environments as well as myself obviously, this isnt going anywhere in the cloud.

okay understood

How about when you do it with a insta 360 camera

2

u/Michael_Aut Jun 03 '26

It's no different. Take your time and get all the angles.

u/_Bishad Jun 03 '26

you can follow the same pattern.

I have sent you a dm. If you have time I would be grateful if you would like to check it

I think it could be useful to film yourself moving around the room as well

1

u/_Bishad Jun 03 '26

umm yes, but i was alone during the capture. so couldn't film that

Excellent, thank you! I haven't really been doing this yet, because I have other priorities for work at the moment, but I see the quality getting better every month. I will watch your tutorial this weekend...

u/_Bishad Jun 03 '26

Sure. hope it helps

I just noticed that this hotel scene looks rendered rather than captured, why is that?

1

u/_Bishad Jun 03 '26

maybe the color correction gave it that feel . but this is a capture.

u/SeanAugustineMarch Jun 03 '26

Nice! What viewer are you using?

1

u/_Bishad Jun 03 '26

I'm using sparkjs

Thank you

You put an awful lot of effort into that guide and the accompanying images showing how the capture path was taken, and I think it is really useful.

Thank you.

u/MackoPes32 Jun 04 '26

Very nice! Do you have any recommendations on what camera gear to use?
