Final conversion in CubicConverter and saving as a Quicktime file and an image (TIFF, JPEG format...) |
Once saved, the final spherical image can be corrected, edited, enhanced according to your needs and your creativity. The max. duration for the nadir patching is 10 mnts. Special thanks to Matthew/360Precision, Pierre/Adobe, Stéphane/Realviz, Gilles, Michel, Jean,... and all members of the PhotoPanorama forum for their assistance and informations.
Another instance made the same way (without any link to Paris, but fun and pretty technical :-). Note that the mirror on nadir has not been shot from the "nodal point", in order to avoid the camera to be reflected. Original idea: Marco Luethi : Panorama, QUicktime VR fullscreen (1.5 MB)
