Combining 3D Drone Models with 360 Virtual Tour Models – Is This Possible and What's the Easiest Way?

Discussion started by netfotyb

Back to board

Hey everyone,

I'm working on a project where I want to create a comprehensive 3D model of a house that includes both the exterior and interior. Here's what I have so far:

Exterior 3D model captured using a drone and processed with photogrammetry software.
Interior 3D model and virtual tour created using a 360 camera, which can be turned into a floorplan and dollhouse view.
Ideally, I want the combined model to look like something out of The Sims—where you can see the outside garden and exterior of the house while also being able to look into the house and explore the interior seamlessly.

My main question is: Is there a way to combine these two models into one cohesive 3D model that allows seamless transition between the exterior and the interior? Has anyone done something similar or knows the most efficient way to approach this?

I’m looking for any advice on the best tools, workflows, or platforms to use. If you have experience with this or know of someone who does, I’d really appreciate your insights!

Thanks in advance!

Yes, combining 3D drone models with 360° virtual tour models is possible and increasingly popular for immersive experiences. The easiest way to do this is by:

Using Software Platforms: Use platforms like Matterport, Cupix, or DroneDeploy that support both 3D and 360° content and allow seamless integration.
Editing Software: Blend 3D drone models and 360 tours in software like Unity or Blender for custom interactive tours.
Hosting Solutions: Use hosting services that support mixed-media, like Kuula or Pano2VR, to create interactive hotspots between drone views and 360 images.
This approach enables smooth navigation between aerial and interior views in a single virtual experience.

experiences. The easiest way to achieve this is by:

Capturing Drone Footage: Use a drone to capture 3D or 360° images of the environment.
3D Modeling Software: Import the footage into software like Unity, Blender, or Matterport to create a 3D model.
360° Virtual Tour Software: Integrate 360° views with virtual tour tools (e.g., Kuula or Pano2VR), allowing users to move seamlessly through the environment.
This approach combines real-world 3D captures with virtual tours, ideal for real estate, tourism, and interactive presentations.
