      I've searched this forum every way I can think, but can't find anything useful... sorry if it's been discussed a million times already...

      can anyone help me... I'm trying to post a spherical image I rendered of an apartment living room into a simple web viewer that requires little/no download for my client...

      any link to a tutorial how to do this would be great...
      I've looked at PanoTools and GoCubic, but I'm confused, and it seems complicated.

      if anyone can find a good tutorial, I'm glad to follow it...

      If we assume they have quicktime viewer, can anyone tell me where a tutorial is to turn a spherical.jpg into a sperical.mov they can navigate in Quicktime?

      thanks in advance.

        gocubic is very easy but you need six jpgs representing sides of a cube, not a spherical jpg. how did you get a spherical jpg out of sketchup anyway?

          I rendered it with Kerkythea using a spherical camera.

            well... its a roundabout way of doing it, but you could create cameras in sketchup with the cubicpanoout.rb then render those same 6 cameras in kerkythea, THEN use gocubic. There might be another software out there that takes spherical though.

              I did a very fast one of a previous render, the Lada, I saved it as a spherical panarama and as a .mov.
              can anyone test to see if it works, as my quicktime is buggy right now.

                Hi Pete,
                what I need to know is:
                1 - how do you convert a single spherical image into an .mov

                2 - how do you embed that into your website so it's as simple to use as this one

                  Hi Fletch,

                  I made this mov file with the cubicpanoout > GoCubic workflow and it was fairly easy to do but its a straight SU output.

                  cubicpanoout can however create the scenes as mirjman suggests above and you can later render them in Kerky (I think using the spherical camera as I was told by Frederik) and stitch them together with GoCubic.

                  AFAIK this is how Martin made this panorama as well.

                  Gai...
