Title: HDRI Render with Terragen 2 Deep
Post by: George on July 29, 2008, 07:31:56 AM
Hi!
My problem is, that I don't know, how to render a HDRI Image (or just a 360 Panorama image) in Terragen 2.  I searched in the Rendered camera properties, but i haven't found anything (no Focal Leng or such things).

Please help me...

Image->Save as EXR
Use http://www.hdrlabs.com/picturenaut/ to convert the images to HDR

My HDR Panos:

When using an EXR from TG2, this program is very nice - http://www.hdrsoft.com/

Hi George,

Right now TG2 doesn't support rendering spherical panoramas and such. However I know there are apps can take a cubic panorama, such as you'd be able to render with TG2, and convert it into a spherical panorama.

Honestly, I think it's kind of lame when renderers don't support cubic as well as spherical panoramas for environment maps, but that's another topic :-).

Regards,

Jo

Will there be a spherical rendering option in the future? :)
