Step-by-Step: Creating a Walkthrough
Step 1: Finalize Your Design
Before creating a walkthrough, make sure your design is complete. Furniture placement, material selection, and lighting should all be finalized. Changes after walkthrough creation require re-rendering the entire video.
Step 2: Open Walkthrough Mode
Click "Walkthrough" in the top toolbar. The editor switches to walkthrough mode where you can place camera points. The 3D view shows a top-down path visualization.
Step 3: Set Camera Points
Click to place camera points along the path you want viewers to follow. Each point defines a camera position and viewing direction. Place points at doorways, room centers, and interesting design features. Use at least 8-12 points for a smooth path through a standard home.
Step 4: Adjust Timing
Set the speed between camera points. Slower transitions give viewers more time to absorb details. Faster transitions work for hallways and connecting spaces. A good walkthrough for a typical 3-bedroom home runs 45-90 seconds.
Step 5: Preview and Generate
Click "Preview" for a quick low-quality preview of the path. When satisfied, click "Generate" and select your resolution. The server renders the final video and notifies you when it is ready.
Optimization Tips
- Keep camera movement smooth: Avoid sharp turns. Place extra camera points around corners so the transition feels like a natural walk rather than a jarring pivot.
- Set eye-level camera height: Position cameras at approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters) for a natural human perspective. Going too high or too low feels unnatural.
- Pause at key features: Slow the camera or add extra points near kitchen islands, feature walls, or large windows to give viewers time to appreciate design highlights.
- Optimize lighting first: The walkthrough reveals how light changes as you move through the space. Make sure natural light from windows and artificial lighting are well-balanced throughout the entire path.
