[Plugin] WebGL Cubic Panorama (update 2016-05-06)

srx

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.

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.

Hello
I have an error window on start:

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...

weird, I fail to understand why?

No zoom on the Panorama ?

rami_lpm

I think I can make it zoom. I'm not a java whiz but I'll give it a try.

Edit: ok, it should work now.
