How should I improve lighting levels for my 360 scans?

The quality of your scans is directly linked to light levels, we need to maximise lighting in a way that supports 360 scans.

1. Maximise daylight

• Scan at brightest part of the day - don't go out at dusk and dawn
  • This simple solution can make a big impact during most construction phases
• Transparent window films
  • Once external windows are in, transparent protective films, or removing films (rather than coloured) will maximise daylight entering rooms
    
    

2. Maximise static lighting

• Ensure all available lights are turned on
• Consider using light strips which can produce great results

3. Mobile lighting solutions

DO NOT USE BEAM TORCHES/HEAD TORCHES

Any targeted light source that throws a beam will result in grainy scenes, processing problems, and location inaccuracy.

ONLY USE A DIFFUSE LIGHT SOURCE THAT PROVIDES WIDE AND EVEN LIGHTING
