Devin Johnston Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Any chance that quicktime VR is compatable with V-ray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Eloy Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Well... yes. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 What I meant was will the panoramic exporter that comes with max export a Vray scene as a QuickTime VR? Every time I try I get nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 are you locked in to using the built in max exporter....? I've found this to be an easy work flow for making QTVRs from vray... http://www.cgarchitect.com/vb/23369-freeware-qtvr-setup.html setting it up the first time takes a few minutes but once you have it set, it's as easy as render to spherical camera, then drag and drop on to the plugin, you you have your QTVR.

rivoli Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 What I meant was will the panoramic exporter that comes with max export a Vray scene as a QuickTime VR? Every time I try I get nothing. actually it doesn't export a vray scene (or a max scene for that matter), it renders a panoramic image which you can then export as quick time vr (or a couple of other formats if I recall correctly). it doesn't work with vray cameras though.

kippu Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 or render a image with the vray camera (in the render options ) spherical , 360 degrees and use pano2qtvr to do the qtvr export ... that is easier i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Brian, I've followed your directions and when I drag my image file into the PanoCUBE icon I get a message saying "Not equirectangular input!", so what does that mean. I rendered a 360 degree spherical camera out of Vray and saved that image as a TIFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 or render a image with the vray camera (in the render options ) spherical , 360 degrees and use pano2qtvr to do the qtvr export ... that is easier i guess I've also done this but I only have 3 choices to pick from once I load the Tiff file they are Equirectangular, Cubic, and Cylindrical but none of these will work. After the quicktime is created all I get is a compleatley white screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 is your image sized correctly? (spherical cam, FOV override = 360, image output ratio 2:1 (3000pixels X 1500pixels) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 No my resolution was 800x600, does it have to be exactley 3000x1500 or can I have the same proportions but different resolutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devin Johnston Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Now I'm getting a message that says "windows cannot find D:\3D\panoramic'. Make sure you typed the name correctley , and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search." hmmm... sometimes it has problems with long names....is your file name anything interesting? stay away from long names, underscores, and spaces. I keep my files for the program in a folder on the root of the drive in a folder called "panocube" and I always name my renders simple, such as pod1.jpg and it never has any problems. there was a short learning curve to learning how to get the prog to work.... but for free it's worth beating your head on the wall a couple of times.

Devin Johnston Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 I'm not sure what to make of this but I downloaded an example of a quicktime VR from the pano2qtvr web site and I'm unable to view it on either of my Windows XP 64 machines. Do you know if XP64 has a problem working with quicktime VR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Ok I've made a wonderful discovery; Quicktime VR doesn’t work with Windows XP 64! Don't you love it when you waste 2 hours trying to get something to work that you think is your fault only to find out that it's the piece of crap software.

BrianKitts Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 that sucks..... sorry didn't know that one, we haven't migrated out of 32bit yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Eloy Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I was wondering why it wasn't working, Devin... I mean, I have succesfully used VRay to create QTVR panoramas (yes, with Max's native tool) several times, never had a problem. One question that comes to miy mind on this is: isn't there a XP64 version of QT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 I don't know but I'll look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Eloy Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Just browsed Apple's website and found nothing about 64-bit versions. All it says is that QT requires WinXP SP2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Same here, it looks like QT won't run on a 64 bit OS which is kind of ironic since the Mac OS has been 64 bit for ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olli96 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 there are some issues with QT and 64Bit, the standalone player works fine, not for panoramas tho, but my browser plugin is missing the play controls... it actually works to create QT panoramas on your 64bit machine, you just cant watch them... at least over here it works with cubicVR (http://plugins.angstraum.at/cubicvr/manual.htm).
