      I'm glad you like it.
      Yes, I imagine it can be done, but I have no renderer at the moment, so I can't test it.
      Which one do you use?
      You could set the camera manually (aspect ratio 1:1, Fov 90 ) and then replace the images that the plugin writes.
      I'm thinking that if the renderer has some kind of global illumination that is camera dependent, then the seams of the cube might be visible.

        I tried it. It works great! For render I use Thea 4 SU, but I don't think it is important.. If only you could add option for making 6 SU scenes based on the output pano01, pano02...so we can render them and replace SU output. This would be so much useful! Thanks again.

            O know, I know, but...

            1. This plugin has webGL output!
            2. I don't know if the others would match.
            3. All in one pack is the best.

              I tried to create scenes with CubicPanoOut plugin, renamed and replaced images in html folder, and they don't match. Would be great to have this option. The easy way of making rendered WEB panoramas. 😄

                This should work (did you turn on shadows?), I've tried this workflow long time ago with Indigo: http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19%26amp;t=10942

                  I added the menu entry. It saves the scenes and shows in the console each scene's filename.
                  I haven't found a way to allow undoing, so be careful.

                    Adding the option to make the scenes shouldn't be such a problem. I'll get on it.
                    I wasn't aware of Renderiza PanoScene.
                    It's strange that the output from cubicpanoout doesn't work with my html. Its basically the same concept and output.
                    (edit: on second thought no, it is not. I had to change the scenes order and rotation to make work easier with WebGL )

                      It works! I checked with Thea render. All I had to do was to adjust the resolution to 2048x2048. Making WEB panorama in a few minutes (+ rendering time). Thank you for making this possible. 😍

                        Good. I'll get a renderer and take a look.

                          Here is my try.
                          6 preview images rendered in Thea4SU, Presto engine, 1 minute each, 6 minutes all.
                          All in all from model to web panorama in 10 minutes!

                          I made a mistake of adding vignetting which is seen in panorama...Other then that very good result.

                            Is it compatibile with SU8 anyway? Thanks for your answer.

                              I think not, sorry. They changed the ruby version for sketchup 2014. I think it has to do with that. I'll see if I can fix it.

                                hi,

                                very interesting...

                                I thought maybe you could ask to change perspective...

                                      #test perspective, if parallel, ask to change now, or return
                                      if !cam.perspective? then
                                       result = UI.messagebox('Camera must be perspective, not parallel, change now?', MB_YESNO)
                                         if result == IDYES
                                           cam.perspective = true
                                         else
                                          return
                                         end
                                      end
                                

                                I'll have a closer look if i get a chance...

                                john

                                learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself...

                                  I thought maybe you could ask to change perspective...

                                  I'm not sure. Most panoramas require a carefully placed camera.
                                  If I switch automatically from a parallel camera, I don't know if the panorama will be useful. Remember that writing the images can take several minutes.
                                  Thanks for the advice anyway.

                                      Yes, that's because v0.3 didn't support SU8. The newest version(0.31) should work fine.

                                        would you mind posting a step by step description how you used this plugin and su4thea to create your rendered panos ?

                                          Nothing serious...
                                          1 Make WEBGL panorama with plugin. It will create images named pano001, pano002 etc in the folder panorama. Check if it works.
                                          2 Use "Save current camera scenes" option of the plugin to create SketchUp scenes.
                                          3 Render those scenes with SU4Thea(do not use Vigneting) and save each rendered scene over the matching pano001,... from the step 1
                                          That's all.

                                            srx,
                                            Sorry to bother you again, but what I could not figure out is still unclear. Where is the option to "save current camera scenes" of the plugin ?
                                            PS.
