360 Degrees

[LaMemChose]

Interested in info about what is needed for going 360 with pics. Will Photoshop do it?

Know how to stitch pics for a panorama, but wondering what's required for going 360.

TIA.

weird seeing a question about this here, but I do this stuff all the time... here's a 360-deg real estate panorama from yesterday.

I owe you an email anyway; I've just gotten backed up on what I have to reply to... :o

Thanks guys.

I'm interested in total 360, not just horizontal, but also vertical, as though one is viewing the scene from the inside of a sphere shape from the bottom center.

The viewpoint would be from the center of the scene at the bottom (floor/base) and would include the horizon as well as the ceiling/sky/whatever's above from the center/bottom of the pic. There would not be an edge when viewing as the two "ends" pf the scene would form a continuous loop of sorts.

If I could make my description any more difficulty and confusing, not sure how.:zombie:

Hey, Scott. Didn't realize that's what you do with your photography biz. Very kewl.

No worries on email. I'm backed up, too. :o

Leo Laports old show Call for help had a set by step on just that. You can't really do straight down though... Tripods there.

yup, I know what you're asking.

The image above is actually presented in an interactive viewer for the client. I batch process most of the real estate stuff; it doesn't pay well enough to warrant spending the time on a flawless 360x180. The one above cuts roughly 10 degrees off the top & the bottom view.

Send me specific questions over email.

Gotcha. There is a starting point and that'd be it. Otherwise, the viewer would float and that would farkle the 360 view.

Yes, there'd be a really small portion of the ground which would not be visible, but overall, the majority would.

Not familiar with Leo Laports. Will search. Thanks Paton. :)

Thanks Scott. Excellent. Look for email re: tech specs in coming days.

Also, glad to know I can get everything in a spherical 360, even the floor/ground/bottom. Had the idea to move the camera/tripod from its original frame of reference/position so as not to lose the ratio and show the floor/ground/base. I know what I want, how this can accomplish what I want to show.

Will explore the links provided, ask more specific questions as I get into this.

Good stuff. ::thumbs up:::)

Unfortunately Call for Helps gone... I'll look too though.
