In this guide
Choose a panorama when the reviewer needs to look around a fixed viewpoint. Choose an interactive walkthrough when moving between positions is part of the question, or a linear video when you need a controlled sequence. Agree the review task, device and hosting arrangement before commissioning the format.
A large room can support several useful viewpoints, but more movement does not automatically produce a better decision. A client choosing a finish may need a clear still and a sample more than a cinematic route.
Match the format to the question
| Format | Best suited review task | Receiving check |
|---|---|---|
| Still image | Compare a specific composition or detail | Can the relevant feature be seen at useful size? |
| Fixed panorama | Look around from an agreed position | Are orientation and room boundaries understandable? |
| Interactive walkthrough | Explore positions and spatial relationships | Do navigation and the intended route work on the receiving device? |
| Linear video | Follow a curated presentation sequence | Does the sequence show the required decisions without skipping them? |
These are different deliverables, not interchangeable names for “3D.” A panorama’s rotational freedom does not provide unrestricted movement through the room. A video does not let the client stop at a new viewpoint that was never rendered.
Define the content before the route
List the decisions to make: furniture arrangement, relationship between rooms, finish comparison or a particular sightline. Mark the relevant positions on the plan. Retain a still or close view for details that become too small during navigation.
Use the client presentation guide to specify the package. The general geometry-first workflow in Planner 5D’s room guidance remains the foundation.1 A richer presentation cannot correct a wrong room baseline.
Specify delivery and access
Record whether the output is a local file, hosted experience or embedded presentation. Identify supported receiving devices, required interaction and who maintains access. For private projects, decide who can view the material and how access can be withdrawn.
If external production is involved, quote the route, viewpoints, output dimensions, revisions, hosting period and source-file scope separately. “Walkthrough included” leaves too many production and receiving questions unanswered.
Test a short representative section
Before producing the full package, choose a section containing the difficult transition or important decision. Ask the intended reviewer to open it on the actual receiving device and complete the stated task. Record the navigation, clarity and access findings rather than only whether the link loaded.
If the reviewer cannot identify the chosen finish or understand the route, change the presentation plan. More frames will not repair an unclear decision structure. The camera review guide helps keep spatial explanations consistent.
Accept the format and the represented revision
Use the deliverable worksheet to record the room revision, route or positions, interaction, hosting and receiving result. An updated room may require rebuilding affected scenes even when the navigation interface remains unchanged.
The Rendora interior workflow is the relevant room-review entry. Confirm the output available for the selected workflow; a presentation brief does not itself create an automatic video or navigable scene.
