Jock Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'm not quite sure what the correct terminolgy is but hopefully people know what i mean when i say quicktime Panoramics, where you convert your 3dmax camera to a 360d camera, you upload it into a specific program and you end up with a nice little quicktime interactive file where the user can look around 360d and see what their new room etc will look like. At the moment I have a couple of generic backgrounds that seem to work but what i'd like to do is be able to allow clients to look out from their new conservatory/extension and see their own garden. Does anyone know exactly how i would actually do such a thing. My initial off the cuff gues would be i stand at a specific spot where the new extension would be, then take a series of photos working my way round so youd get say 9 photos at say 20d from left to right. If my guess is correct, how would you actually put them together to make one photo, a lot of photoshop work? Also i assume youd really need a tripd to pull it off correctly or could you do a half decent job doing it hand held? Sort of related, sort of not, but see if you wanted to do the exact same but for a real house, so no max invloved, what would be required from a camera point of view. Is it something you could pull off with a normal camera and a whole lot of photos or would you need some expensive camera to do the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonRashid Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 There are a number of progs out there that stitch photos together although I just use photoshop. If you do a cylindrical panorama this is quite straightforward but a full spherical one can be tricky. For this I create a cylinder around my whole scene with an opacity gradient at the top. I surround this with a dome of blue sky allowing my background to fade through to the sky. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 the automated photomerge function works really well for stitching shots together, or like jon said there's dedicated programs to do it as well..... http://www.easypano.com/panorama-software.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
