What software is used to make panoramic renderings?

VR panoramas require multiple steps to make:

First of all, let’s talk about the software required for panorama production. Post-production is actually very simple. One requires 5 software. These 5 All software are common in the panoramic industry, the first exposure fusion software photomatix; the second stitching software PTGui pro; the third photo editing software Photoshop; the fourth panoramic image conversion application software pano2vr; the fifth panorama playback software VR player.

Steps for generating panoramic pictures: Before processing the pictures, first organize the pictures taken by the photographer. Create separate folders for each scene. Note that redundant pictures of each scene should be deleted, and each shot must be three or a multiple of three.

1. Fusion batch processing

Open the exposure fusion software: photomatix. Click to batch process bracketed photos.

HDR Settings - Default Natural - Filter All

Check Align Image (Tripod) In addition, do not choose to delete ghosts, the picture will appear blurry in the future, if the picture ISO is very High can enable noise reduction.

Then select the source folder (find the folder you just created containing 21 images), select the target to create in the source folder - click Run. Wait for a few minutes. After the program is finished running, 7 processed pictures will appear in the folder, then close the software.

2. Picture stitching

Next, stitch the fused pictures, select all 7 pictures after exposure fusion and drag them into PTGui.

Click to align the images for stitching. If the English instructions indicate that the image sizes are different, rotate the last sky image and then align it.

After the alignment is completed, a panorama editor will appear. Drag the panorama in the panorama editor to pull the subject in the scene to the middle position and then straighten it.

Then press F5 to optimize the panorama and check the average control points in the optimization results. It is normal for the average control points to be lower than 1.8. If it is higher, it means that the node adjustment is not accurate enough and the spliced ??panorama will have misaligned seams. There will be a lot and the nodes will need to be recalibrated.

Three, three-axis correction

After the optimization is completed, the three axes of the image are corrected. Purpose: Make the vertical ones vertical and the horizontal ones horizontal. Generally, just adjust the vertical ones.

First select the same picture for both views, and find the lines in the picture that are physically perpendicular to the ground, such as wall seams, pillar edges, door frame edges, etc.

Then accurately click on the top end of this line in the first window, and click on the bottom end of this line in the second window image, so that a vertical line will appear. Generally, you can find one in one picture, and then use the same method to find the vertical lines in the second picture. If there are no obvious vertical lines, you can skip them. You can find three in 7 pictures. Be careful not to look for the sky in the seventh picture. Optimize after completion (shortcut key F5).

4. Seams

Open the seams in the editor and use a magnifying glass to see if there are characters or half of the vehicles in the seams. If there is, find the mask under the toolbar and use the mask to erase the wrong part or display it completely. To erase, use the red mask to erase. If you want to display it completely, erase the adjacent images.

Finally, after the modification is completed, modify the size (14000*7000) and image quality in the Create Panorama column, and click Create Panorama.

In addition, pay attention to saving your own plan, click File-Save Plan As, or click Send to Batch Stitching, it will automatically save the plan and create a panorama.
