Panoramical Cylinder or Sphere grab

[anthony.liot2]

Hi,

 

I want to take some 360 panoramical screenshot, the player I have can play cylinder/spherical images.

 

What is the best way to do that with Unigine ? I try by changing the fog and use renderImage at different angle but for now the result is not good.

Thanks

Tony

Hi Anthony,

 

Have you tried to use AppPanorama for this?

[anthony.liot2]

Oops Silent Sorry I miss this one.

 

I will try that ASAP.

Thanks

Silent,

 

I try the AppPanorama on the beta and each time I have a crash. BTW I try with the Unigine 1 (2014-07-07) and it's working.

Unfortunately, I don't have more information about this crash inside the log, just a segfault.

I am using a Mac mini 2012 with OS X 10.10.3 and HD 4000.

 

Thanks

Hi Anthony,

 

Thanks for the information. Will check this behavior on our test farm.

BTW Do you think that could be possible to adapt the plugin for support 360 equirectangular panorama ?

Sorry, can't reproduce crash on our Mac Mini with HD4000 - everything working as expected in 2.0 beta:

Not sure about 360, but 180 is surely possible :) Will ask devs if they have any thoughts about this.

 

Thanks!

Yup, 360 is possible, you just need to modify AppPanorama a little and two more render targets (for poles) and change composition shader.

It might also be possible quick and dirty by unigine script without modifying AppPanorama: on alternating frames (for same position) just flip camera orientation by 180 degrees and take 180 degree screenshots. Then take both screen shots and stich them together. Afterwards move to new position.
