Capture guide

Give your 3D concept a clear sense of place.

morada accepts 3–8 JPG or PNG photos. Ordinary phone photos need no special equipment. When possible, take 6–8 overlapping views to give the system more context. The same steps work for a room, a yard, a stage, or a venue.

01

Start wide

Show the full work area first. Include nearby context such as a doorway, window, fireplace, fence, tree, the proscenium, or the edge of a dance floor when it helps explain the space.

02

Turn with steady steps

Stand in one safe, stable area. Turn a little, pause, and take the next photo. Keep part of the prior view and shared landmarks visible in each photo.

03

Use clear, even light

Use the same zoom and phone orientation for the full set. Keep the phone level. Avoid dark scenes, strong glare, and moving people when possible.

04

Add views of hidden areas

Take an extra photo when a wall, corner, tree, or other object hides an important area. Details that are not visible in your photos are not guaranteed to match the real place.

05

Optional: use a full-sphere panorama

You can upload one genuine 360° × 180° equirectangular 2:1 panorama instead of ordinary photos. A horizontal phone panorama does not include the full sphere, and resizing it does not create the missing coverage.

06

Check for missing views

Before you upload, confirm that the photos show one connected space. The work area, its edges, and important features should appear clearly from more than one view.

By space

What to include for your kind of space.

Rooms

Stand in the corners.

Shoot from two or three corners and the doorway so every wall appears at least twice. Open curtains for even light, and clear anything you don't want kept.

Yards and gardens

Walk the edges.

Shoot from the patio, the middle of the lawn, and the far edge. Include the house wall, fence line, and large trees as landmarks, and avoid harsh midday shadows.

Stages and venues

Work the house and the deck.

Shoot from the house seats toward the stage, then from the wings or the stage edge back toward the room. Use work lights rather than show lighting, and include fixed features such as the proscenium, columns, or the dance floor.
