If I can recall, that particular pano in the tutorial, with the D10
and the
Sigma
was rather blurry and disappointing for me. I could not figure out if
it was
because
of the compression, the camera, or what. I thought you could make
better
panos
with a setup like that. Perhaps it is because the pano size is 2000 x
1000,
so you cannot view
it as fullscreen?
Or is it just me? The panos on that whole site seem
far too blurry for my taste. I hope this is not representative of the
max
quality
possible for the D10 + Sigma. I really hope.

Subject: Cubics with PTViewer
Hello! I've been a subscriber to this list for over a year now;
thanks to
all for the wealth of information.
I'm very interested in the Canon D10 and read with interest the
wonderful
tutorial posted by Dr. Karl Harrison at the following link:
http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/oxfordtour/tutorial.html
Thank you Karl! I'd like to use Karl's approach with the D10 to
create my
panoramas. I must provide my panoramas with QTVR and Java,
therefore, it
would be great to simply take the cubic produced for QT and use it
for
PTViewer as well. To try this out, I downloaded the QT .mov file
used in
the
tutorial and tried it out with the version of PTViewer that plays
cubics.
The .mov file from the tutorial is 2.4MB. PTViewer stops at "Loading
Image... 80%" and goes no further. To be sure I had the right
version of
PTViewer, I then took the stitched image sample posted on the
tutorial
(only
72K), put it into MakeCubic and was able to play it in QTVR and
PTViewer.
Does anyone know if there is a file size limitation in PTViewer,
especially
in regards to playing cubics? And, does anyone here have experience
creating cubics for PTViewer and could provide any information such
as
links
to see samples, good/bad experiences, etc.
Your feedback is most appreciated.
Best Regards,
Will Merrill
