Hello folks. I am brand new to Rhino5 and I am not a designer. I am a photographer trying to learn more about the program so that I can better guide an architect I’m working with in his renderings.
In my research I have found that Rhino5 can export spherical 360 panoramic images like the one I have attached below – by using VRay. Please let me know if there is a better way/method to do this.
What I am now looking to do is to have the architect export Stereo Spherical 360 Panoramic Images so that I may input them into a program called PanotourPRO for viewing on VR goggles in 3D rather than just plain old 360 However, in my searches I have not found much mention of stereo support in Rhino5, and so I am hoping to learn some new info here!
I think VfR3 is the best way to render stereo panos of interiors. Last I did a test and it works. VfR3 is quite young and more beta than final, but you can do it quite straight forward.
Also I found the little tool sView - it can be used as stereo pano slideshow viewer. Very simple, no VR coding needed. I’m very happy to found it. At the moment I’m waiting for 4K HMD will be on market and use a simple steroscopic viewer like this:
Here the rendering of the unfinished test (forum restriction 3MB, so very strong packed JPG):
Octane should do it too, but I suppose so it needs a lot of calculation power.
FWIW, I could hook up creation of equirectangular panoramas from Raytraced eventually (and very likely will) so that you can create HDRi env textures from your own scenes.
