Enter the hotspot name and press 'Create Panorama'. Select 'Set optimum size.' or enter your own target pixel size (any size is possible). Then to the 'Images' tab and write down the Yaw, Pitch and Roll values.įor the pool example - here the extracted values: Go back to the 'Stitcher' tab and write down the horizontal field of view value. Open the 'Preview window' and enable the 'Auto' update button.Īnd and select via mouse dragging and the fov sliders and the numeric transforms the right part of the pano image. Then to the 'Image Parameters' tab and write down the Yaw, Pitch and Roll values. Go back to the 'Panorama settings' tab and write down the horizontal field of view value. Use the 'Panorama Editor' window and select via mouse dragging and the fov sliders and the numeric transforms the right part of the pano image. Select the part of the pano where the whole hotspot is visible:.Note - for a partial pano enter the smaller hfov and for a flat pano enter 1.0 as hfov. Select 'Load images.', load the pano image and select ''Equirectangular' as lens type and 360 as HFOV. Select the 'Lens Settings' tab and select there 'Equirectangular panorama' as lens type and enter 360 as horizontal field of view. Add the pano image and skip the Camera / lens data dialog. Load the spherical source pano image into PTGUI or Hugin:.The pool is bigger than one cube face and because of this, good for a demonstration: Different to this example the hotspot doesn't need to be inside a cubeface.įor extracting the hotspot image from the source pano image, additionally tools are necessary - either the free Hugin Stitcher or the commercial PTGUI Stitcher can be used.Īs example I'm using here this (old and not very well stitched) pool pano - the blue water of the pool should be the hotspot.
