PanoTools:
Ten panos per hour!
Ian Wood 2005-Jun-18 18:04:00
Last night was the degree show party for the faculty of art where I
work part time.
<http://azurevision.co.uk/degree-05/>
Thanks to a 360Precision head, PTMac and PTBatch, it took an hour from
downloading the card to having ten finished QTVR files. They are only
8-shot cylinders rather than full sphericals, but there was quite a bit
of work with moving crowds.
Workflow:
Download, sort images for each pano into it's own folder.
Alter an existing template in PTMac.
Batch stitch using PTBatch, output to 'Enblend PSD' - the bottom layer
of the file contains the blended image, but the file also contains all
the unblended images in their own layers. Rendered at 5000x1333 pixels.
Open in PS, do a bit of mask-painting where there are people cut in
half, colour and brightness correction, expand canvas out to 5000x2500
pixels.
Realise that one of the panos was not shot in the right order and
re-render that one.
Drag the flattened TIFFs onto MakeCubic.

P.S. Shot on a 10D with a Sigma 12-24mm @ 12mm, one shot every 45
degrees, stitched on a dual G5.
