Photography Tips VR Panorama effect with PTGui (www.dombower.com)

[Dillshellard]

There is a cool app on the app store for iPhone and iPad called 360 panorama. It allows you to REALLY easily take 360's and with your gyroscope on your device, you can walk around in your panorama, plus you can put it online, and walk around online. Its really cool! and so easy to do!

Make sure that the destination folder is writable" i have this program since 2 months and this error start 4 days ago from nothing ... dunno what to do i have changed the temporary folder destination and it stills.

Could you do this in Phtoshop or photomatics?

[666haloinc666]

Photomatix is only for HDR, and photoshop can stitch panoramas, but not make an interactive one like this.

[IntensePizza]

So do you need a fisheye lens like in the video? or is that just more convenient???

lol thanks i tried it in photoshop and yeah your right.

i thad a go at this at the widest focal length of the widest lens i have which is 18mm. the resulting photo doesnt align together very well. are there tricks behind this? will a tripod help?

thanks

[dombower]

it might but you would need a special head for the tripd. try it on landscapes first and you will see it work fine, but the 18mm isnot that brill

Thanks,,,,,perfect timing. My interest in panorama shots has recently been peaked by a guy on flickr called 'gbatistini'. He has done some very impressive cityscape panoramas. Check him out!

I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW

you did those panoramic photos in your website... now i know the secret...

Thanks DOM.

[sulqatar]

You are a very good man ,Thanks , I like you ^_^

[timmyguy13]

To do a regular panorama with this software do they have to be perfectly shot so that they match up, like with a tripod? Or could you just do it freehand??

[dombower]

depends, i did some panoramas in the lakedistrict hand held but the view was easily over a km away, i imagin you can do it hand heald pretty easy but need tripod stuff if you are doing slightly longer exposures or close up panormaics like of streets etc

[timmyguy13]

Do you have to use a fisheye?

[dombower]

check the more info description.

no you dont but in tight situations like this room it helps, i have done panoramas of mountains with a 50mm but to get a full 360 image would take hundreds of photos. any wide angle would work

[timmyguy13]

Ohh okay cool.. where can i find the software??

[timmyguy13]

nevermind, i found it

[gryphons3]

[lopezae33]
