PTgui vs. Realviz Stitcher Ulimited
Posted: 5 Jun 2007 at 20:42 GMT

Ive been looking at both options to start shooting realestate, Ive tried both trial versions and PTgui seems to be the way to go. But before I buy I wanted to ask your opinions on both softwears for the application I will primarily be using it for. Are there features in Realviz that make it worth more?
Ive serched these forums the past couple weeks and havent found a specific answer to my question.
I have a Mac Id like to work on but I can use PC if needed.
Im shooting with a Nikon D80, Sigma 8mm, Manfrotto 303sph head and 3011n tripod.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Well that works for me, with a 6 to 1 ratio of users, help and information will be found easily. Is Cubic Converter a must have? What aftereffect program is ideal for my set up for creating hot spots, lighteffects (lens flare ect.) adding audio....?
Thanks Mark

I don't work with Mac's so I only what I have read about Cubic Converter which is that it is a fine program, alas it is for Macs only 
I use a program called Pano2QTVR for generating my QTVR and Flash fies. It will also do hotspots.
www.pano2qtvr.com/
As for light effects I believe most people are producing those with a program called Pure Panorama

Hope this helps.

I just bought PTgui and regestered it. With the trial version I downloaded panorama tools and I was able to create watermarked panos and qtvrs. I went through the same process again and it wont let me sticht images with a wider field of view then 110 degrees... where did I go wrong?
Im on an Intel Mac shooting with a Nikon D80 and Sigma 8mm
HELP!

Hi, Alex, you need a dll file and put it inot system32 in windows. Then you will be able to stitch spherical images. good lcuk.

Thanks for the reply vargaszhou,
But Im running the program on a Mac machine...
I know itll work because I was sucessful using the trial version, now that im a regestierd user and had to reinstall, it isnt working. I have an email into PTgui and Im going to The Mac store to see if its a hardwear issue. I was hoping somebody on this forum had a solution for this problem.

John, Thanks for the links, I have already downloaded the software from
www.rogerroger.org/panotools/universal
And followd his installation directions... with no sucess I cleared my machine of all previous attempts. Rebooted and Downloaded from
www.geocities.com/fov960/Mac_PanoTools.html
Used the same install directions and Im getting the same results.
I opened both my regesterid version and trial version, loaded the same photos in both with the same settings.
When the trial version Panorama Editor poped up it had my aligned pano and was able to export to both Jpeg and .mov
With the bought version the Panorama Editor was black and the control points were off by a little and would not let me export because the Feild of view was larger then 110 degrees.
Anybody have any ideas?
EDIT:
Post thought. If only the trial version wasnt watermarked.. hmmmm

maybe you need to tell PTGui where the stitcher is? In windows, I think it is under settings, I don't know how the Mac version works
in windows when you want to use a plugin, you first need to give PTGui the path to it, maybe it is the same for mac, also make sure you have a "patched" version of panorama tools dll (dll for windows, not sure what it is called for mac), the original one doesn't work for 180°

Thanks for the info, but Ive found a solution already, Upgrade to beta 7!
I thought I had already posted that but maybe it never went though? At the end I asked the mods to delete this thread but maybe they thought i ment my post? either way thanks everyone and PTgui for the swift response!
