Create a 360 Hidden Line View
-
I'm not sure if there is an extension that would do this. Might search the SCF Extension Store and Extension Warehouse.
This is a kludge but maybe it would work for you. Set up scenes pivoting the camera around a central point. You could probably manage with 4 or 5 scenes making sure the first and last are in the same position. Export an animation as images and set the image size to a tall skinny rectangle. This would represent the slit in an old fashioned panoramic camera. You'll need to find the happy medium for image width and frame rate. After exporting the images You could comine them into a single image in an image editor.
The narrower the exported images, the less distortion you'd have with horizontal lines.
Somehow I expect a plugin could be written to do this sort of thing. It seems like something that John Drivenupthewall might find interesting.

I can recommend a Plugin by Rami_lpm: WebGL Cubic Panorama.
Export to WebGL, Canvas, Scenes ... (hidden lines are no problem)

http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=59335%26amp;hilit=RamiI did see that, but now how do I turn that into a single 360 image?

Something like this might help with the conversion:

Woah - OK now we are getting close. Does anyone know what the order that Rami's plugin exports? It doesnt seem to name the views by what the view is, just numbered.
-
The order in Rami's Cubic Panorama is: view to
east, north, west, south, up, down
(north is here the y-axis in world coordinates)If north is front then it is translated for 360toolkit
right, front, left, back, up, down -
Only issue I am seeing is that in Rami's plugin, it seems to be creating a border around each cubic export, so when it stitches together, I have this wire-frame cube in my pano.

I've used CubicPaboOut (http://www.smustard.com/script/CubicPanoOut) in the past for exporting the 6 cube images and $ KRPano (https://krpano.com/) to stitch them together.

Here is what one of the exports looks like from cubicpanout as well - same issue

Seems to be an old issue - its discussed here, but I am still stuck.

CubicPanout creates gray bars on my exports, which is an issue that has been seen before.
