Just tuned back in and now the thread is gone. Yes there were some flame wars and on my part some incorrect information. However, there were some good things in the thread so why delete all?

Not so sure it is worth the effort for Pano2Vr and FPP to change their software just to help out a small segment of their market. This patent problem is only going to be in US. How much of total sales world wide come from US? The patent trolls are only going to target pros IMO. They are the ones making money off of their patent so they say. So, what part of the total US sales is to pros? Perhaps Trausti could let us know what these percentages are. To me it just seems a very small segment of the market that a software provider is looking at. Further, are the big players like Ice Portal even using Pano2VR or FPP, my thoughts are no.
My 2 cents,
TTurner

This problem is not going away. The patent holders have now officially filed against Ice Portal. From what I have heard they my settle because it would be cheaper than the court fight. For the US pros out there this should make us all nervous.

That's is the information I am looking for. What software is out there that someone has used. I have searched and found many programs, just looking to see if anyone here has experience with x,y or z program.
Thanks,

I got an email from him yesterday so he is not dead. Why are you starting STUPID rumors when you know nothing about the situation. Doug left for his own reasons just like others have.

? for DXO users,
For wide angle zoom lenses does the program adjust according to the mm setting. My Canon 10-22 has bad CA at the wide end and not so much at the far end. Would the program adjust through out the range or just blanket adjustment per lens?
Thanks in advance,
TTurner

Doug,
I know you have a contact at Ice Portal. Could you contact them and see if they will enlighten us all.
Thanks,

Sorry Doug but I think your product has been replaced on the Inn of the Mountain Gods website. Could not find your videos anywhere. Personally I think video or pans could work for golf. Video for overview and pans for hole by hole.
Just my opinion as a video and pan producer,
TTurner
Clay: it works for me (nice balls) but since the pans are not fullscreen I would rather see the map separate from the pan as to not cover the image. 2 cents worth again

Clay- no problem. When you figure out the skins show us the results.
Trigger- funny you should say that "client Googling" as I always try to keep that in mind when making a post (don't always succeed). It is all out there to be found.

Took Oloneo for an extended test drive on two builder models. Did a test and they liked the results so merged all the remaining shots from the project.
The engine is fast but I am not sure about batch processing. Photos with windows vs. shots without lend different results with the same settings. I ended up tweaking each shot. The HDR effect can get out of hand quick with overly exaggerated chroma and total loss of black levels. Also discovered noise artifacts if you are not careful with dialing it in.
Fixed CA in ACR before Oloneo processing then also final processing in PS to bring back some black levels and reduce chroma in reds and oranges.
Here are some results:
Still learning all the knobs.
Enjoy,
TTurner

Clay -
Do not know why you mentioned me. I was just pointing out that some users claim to get good results on Auto where my rig does not. I rarely use auto even for non pan photos.

My 50d is really bad with AWB in incandescent or tungsten situations. I prefer to set a custom WB with a selected image (shoot white paper-ect.) or use the Kelvin setting and dial in the WB I like using live view to assist.

NW,
Are you changing the exposure between shots? If so then that is your problem. Keep the same shutter & f-stop for the entire pan.

TTurner
edit: sorry, missed that Smooth already mentioned that.

Greetings Battles,
Just some thoughts and I am not trying to discurage but just passing on knowledge from shooting real estate pans for over 6 years.
Have you set a price with your friend for the panoramic services that they want? Realtors want to pay as little as possible.
Do you know what the other potential realtors are willing to pay for your services or how much your competitors charge?
The pans need a platform to be viewed from. Web page, hosting services whatever. I use VRGuild for my hosting platform. They have access to Realtor.com which most realtors requesting VT,s want (at least in my area). You can set up your own account with Realtor.com if you want after their approval of your platform (Doug has his approved).
If you rent you gear you will have to set up the camera, lens and head everytime you work (look up nodal point on this forum). Most people set and forget due to the fine tune and timely process. Rental gear settings I would guess would be different everytime.
Finally, I have found that realtors use of VT's in my market is on the decline. Most now only want 25 stills for posting on the local MLS and their agency website and call it a day. This is true for shacks up to multi-million dollar homes.
Good Luck,
TTurner
