QTVR - 360º panoramas
How these were made:Ten vertical, overlapping photos were taken with a wide-angle lens in the field. These were handheld with level and overlap done by eye (and experience!). Photos were "stitched" together on a mac using either Realviz Stitcher and sometimes Photoshop CS3, with image work in Photoshop. The cylindrical projections were converted to cube faces using Cubicconverter, and graphics were added along with some edge cheating in Photoshop (eg. the whole top of the sky is fake, I'm sorry to say). The 6 cube faces are brought back to Cubicconverter for export to the QTVR movie in spherical projection, which I've found to be the best user environment. Fullscreen versions with music were assembled with Pleinpot. Quicktime required to view. Zoomify - Detailed vistasHow these were made:These images are panoramics, but don't extend 360º. The images are stitched from multiple full-frame wide-angle photos, stitched in Photoshop CS3 and exported with Zoomify. You can see the full resolution of these very detailed images by "zooming" in, and exploring with the mouse. These are generally over 2000 pixels high and 10,000 pixels wide. Flash required to view. |
