Thanks guys.
Ra: I'l send the scene soon. In couple of days probably!

Also I kinda forgot I did this panorama thingy. I wanted to see how my clouds look in 360x180 so I ended up baking this interactive panorama... There are some border problems but that was just me being lazy..

That's awesome, Freelancah. I didn't know the tool exported to Flash. It would be a great enhancement to some stuff on my site.... gotta dive into that. Thanks for showing this.

what tool did you use to create it.
The best two I have found are:
- Panocube - which makes QuicktimeVR .mov files
- and fpsviewer fspviewer which takes equirectangular images and can do hotspots.
but neither generates swf files.

I'm particularly interested in viewers that can play back the equirectangular file in a video format.
I.e. animate many frames all rendered into equirectangular projections.. but I haven't found one yet.

Thanks! I'm using a program called Pano2 VR. It can export mov and flash with the desired settings. Accepts pretty much every input format you can imagine and hotspots work too.. The flash export function is in the paid version only, costs some 50 dollars if I remember correct

Ahh thanks for that.
I've been doing some more digging and I've found a couple of free ones that seem current.
Here's a good comparison page:

The most exciting of which is Ryubins work:

video panoramas in flash with hotspots and sound - at the right price.

Now I just need to render a video in TG2 with panorama mode turned on in my Batch_TG2 program.
woo hoo ;D

Good work, Neon22. Interesting stuff.

neon22 I actually thought about that too but my usage for these would be purely web based and even with those the resolution of things makes things rather large to load.. I can imagine how long a video would take to load... Well depending on the resolution of course. Still very interesting, thanks for the links. I think I have bumped into most of those softwares already when researching these.

Rendering a video with 360x180 sounds awfully painful so I do wish you a lot of luck in this project xD

If you look at the example of the ryubin page - it loads instantly. The video is being streamed - so its not so bad I think. With flv files we no longer need to wait for the entire video to download before you can begin.

Also, I agree rendering 6 times the amount of data sounds like a lot of pain... but that's one of the reasons to create the community renderfarm... and Dandelo's underwater sequence - was taking me only 6 mins a frame for regular. So I think I can handle 36 mins and maybe a shorter animation. we will see...  ;D

need to make sure it has interest in all directions... Keen to do some obj replacement too... Hmmm
