Re: NPP - what's happening here?>

Thanks Smooth.

I wasn't re-levelling between individual shots, but trying the tripod level v NN5 for different sets in desperation. I remember your tutorial being pretty clear on the not re-levelling!

I'll have another trial with moving the arm back and see how that goes, then see if I can make some images available.

Cheers
Patrick

Thanks for this elaborate tip, I'll give it a go as soon as my client figures out if he wants that room decorated with a pano!

Has anybody made a panorama of the Eureka Tower Car Park?>

It seems like it would be a good image.

They seems to have got it all backwards.

You will note that the image of the Bower shows it's a Sony Alpha mount. That should explain a lot.

To correct the image layer mask with this lens, is photoshop the way to go? or does that work best with normal lens'?

John, I had the projection set at spherical, cropped to Full Sphere: 360x180. As Andrew suggests, when I pull the zenith into the center of the APP preview window, there is no gap in the sky.

These panos were an exercise to see how few images from the Samyang would give good stitching results. I had taken more shots.

When I stitch eight shots around plus two zenith images, there is no pinching.

When I stitch four shots around plus and alternate zenith image, there is no pinching.

Smooth, I think you’re right that this may be a Smartblend issue.

Thanks for all the helpful comments.

The center of the Tripod Cap is either a "Little Planet" or "Mirror Ball"

Both can be output from Pano2VR

The information around it was likely made in Photoshop. I'm not aware of any software that does that part automaticly

Presently it is for my own use. I have to crunch the numbers to see what it costs to produce since I now have all the programs proven. Oh no the dreaded iXXX I am hoping to have a simple bluetooth connection to start it. I have looked at Papywizard and may interface with that. I know nothing about writing apps and don't have the time to get into it.

Re: My First Tourweaver 5.0 Flash Real Estate Tour>

2010-03-19T22:24:05Z

vn2009
I haven't decided what to charge for the tours made with Tourweaver yet.

What you're seeing is actually 2 products put together

I charge $69 for the 15-20 HDR/Enfused still photos that were used in the tour

For a 4 scene virtual real estate tour, no still photos just virtual images. I charge $129.95.

Out of the $129.95 I have to pay $19.95 for distribution to Realtor.com and $5 for hosting.

Subtracting some other expenses, I estimate I make $165 for a home that I shoot both.

It takes about an hour to shoot the 15-20 stills and 45 minutes to an hour to shoot the 4 virtual tour scenes

I can shoot one in the morning and one in the afternoon with no problem

I hope to increase the charge for the "tour" by $20 to $149.95

What I may do in the short term is offer the Tourweaver tour at no additional charge for agents who order both stills and a tour of the same house to maximize the income from each home.

That would let me make $189 on one house and $378 for 2 homes shot in one day.

My ideal schedule would be to shoot 2 homes each day on Monday & Tuesday, spend Wednesday processing & posting them, shoot 2 more homes on both Thursday and Friday and process and post them on Saturday during the busy late Spring & Summer with a fewer orders in the late Fall and Winter
