Partial cylindrical panorama

[PostArt]

Plebs question here, is it possible to do partial cylindrical panorama's in the new version? If so how. Ive tried selecting cylinder in the select input popup window but changing the FoV has no effect.

Any help is welcome.

Thank you.

Paul.

Oooppppss... ok, this is a bug. Currently it only works with QuickTime. I will fix that.

On the change log page of the Wiki it says that there is a Beta 3a that fixes this, but I couldn't find a d/l for it. Does it exist yet?

(By the way, excellent work so far on the betas for Pano2VR, Thomas.)

Yeah, this page is also a notepad for me to write down the changes that I already made in my unreleased development version. I hope to release this version today or tomorrow. In the future I will mark the unreleased version to avoid confusions.

OK, I've got beta 4a, but I'm still having problems with partial panoramas (both Flash and Quicktime) so I guess I'm doing something wrong.

This is what I'm doing:

1. Select a partial cylindrical jpg
2. Viewing Parameters 'Modify'
3. Position the image where I want it to start
4. Click 'Set' to enter Pan, Tilt and FoV
5. Check 'Show Limits'
6. Pan image to left and right and click 'Set' at both positions
7. Click 'OK'
8. Create panorama
9. View panorama - it rotates a full 360 degrees

If I click Viewing Parameters 'Modify' again the left and right limits have returned to 180. (They are also greyed and don't accept keyboard input as the top and bottom limits do - is this correct?)

I can do screen grabs of settings and examples if that would help.

I think you're doing wrong...

Just click on "select input" and select:
type: cylinder
horizontal fov: here you type in the fov.. for example 210°

then you load the partial panoramaimage in pano2vr and click ok.

thats it.

Thank you. I didn't realise that you had to add the image via 'Select Input'. I've just been drag'n'dropping it to the Input area.
