Posting a spherical image to the web for client to view
-
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 .mov2 - 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.
