Snap2Close's Advanced (Hybrid Co-Piloted) Virtual Staging

Snap2Close has always envisioned a bridge between 3DS Max modeling software for professional manual virtual staging and AI staging. Now, with the cooperation and support of our Danish, Israeli and Vietnamese partners we are proud to offer our Advanced (Hybrid Co-Piloted) Virtual Staging, which has two uniquely different features and those are Hybrid and Co-Piloted. We believe these new features will revolutionize the world of virtual staging.

 

 

AI Does Play its Part

This new platform is based on a higher end version of AI virtual staging. Our platform consists of more than 10,000 independently designed 3D pieces of furniture and accessories. These three-dimensional objects have been professionally bundled by interior designers into identified and numbered templates. The AI segment incorporates accurate dimensional measurement manually entered into a database for each room. The software automatically creates a basic virtual 3D model of the room and then scales each individual piece of furniture and/or accessory to match the room’s virtual 3D model. This is extremely beneficial when using the same bundled template furniture items on two or more photos of the same room.

 

 

Hybrid Begins

While AI technology can do some amazing tasks, it is still not perfect. This is where the Hybrid level or stage steps in, as staff members then begin to manually adjust each single piece of 3D furniture and accessory object. Each piece can be individually adjusted by Pitch, Roll, Rotation, Size, Length, Height, Width, Horizontal, Depth, and Vertical Position. In essence, the sophisticated AI feature does most of the scaling work. Staff works on fine tuning each piece. This Hybrid Virtual Staging significantly reduces the time and cost involved in the process, and the end results are some amazing realistic looking virtually staged rooms.

Co-Piloted (You are the Co-Pilot)

Historically, real estate agents could select the furniture style for each room they wanted to stage, i.e., Traditional or Contemporary, etc. But that was the extent of their involvement. That was kind of a waste since you are the critical partner and paying customer.

Snap2Close is now changing that paradigm and inviting you to co-pilot this process by selecting the bundled templates you prefer for each room. We feel like this is critically important since you have a greater knowledge of the property than we do. You have probably walked your listing and have a greater sense of feel for the neighborhood and who the potential buyers might be. You have a wealth of knowledge that virtual staging staff members will never have. That is why we want you to be the Co-Pilot.

 

 

Success of Hybrid Virtual Staging Approach

The Hybrid process combines the AI automation for speed and efficiency with human oversight and refinement for customization and quality control. In other words, it is the best of both worlds. It leverages the speed of AI while allowing for human input to ensure realistic and aesthetically pleasing results.

The Process - How this works

Step 1 - You are the Co-Pilot

The process begins by you selecting the photos you want to stage and selecting the style of furniture template you want to use. Each template has been designed by professional decorators who hand selected three-dimensional CGI pieces to compile the displayed room. This includes the individual pieces of furniture, artwork, accessories and rugs, etc.

Step 2

Snap2Close prepares and uploads your media and our floor plans to our Danish partner's server.

Step 3

Editors mark room dimensions of the photo and begin the hand placement of each piece of furniture to match the room. The editor manually makes these adjustments on each piece of furniture: Pitch, Roll, Rotation, Size, Length, Height, Width, Horizontal, Depth, and Vertical Positions.

Photos of the same room use the same furniture and adjust the pieces to the correct positions.

The editor then bundles the images and CGI files and position placements and adds them to their server.

Step 4

Snap2Close downloads the bundled files, makes any necessary changes or additions and then begins rendering the files so that you will have your final virtually staged images. This entire process will require 48 to 72 hours to be completed.

Note: Our Danish partners do not work on Sundays.

 

Pricing

Snap2Close understands that pricing is very important to you and we have been working hard to minimize this expense. Our initial pricing is set at $35 per image with delivery 24 hours later. Client revisions may require a fee. Please contact our office for more information.
