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.

rami_lpm

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

srx

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...

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.

srx,
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.

erikB

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.

In SU place the camera where you would like the panorama to be generated from.

Create a scene

Now under Plugins > Panorama > Save Current Camera Scenes

This will generate the cubic scenes from that scene. The scenes name will be prefixed and suffixed with p[scene_name]_# eg Scene 1 will have 6 new scenes added called Scene 1_1, Scene 1_2 etc.....

Use these scenes in Thea

erikB

thank you,
Just found it myself. Lesson 1: "read" the comments from the maker. I was only working with the icons toolbar and could not understand why I couldn't find it.
anyway thanks Rich

Hey. Sorry, I didn't make a button for that because I still haven't found a way to undo it, and so many scenes can disorganize your model very quickly. (you can always delete them manually, but I find it awkward)

Rich, that is awesome, I didn't know you could insert stuff like that in phpBB.

your test breaks the page in Safari...

I had to disable images to post...
