Greg,
Thanks.
I have use FormZ panoramic projection feature to sincronize position and
orientation between my 3D model and the photographic pano. Than I have used
photoshop to mix both using a blend layer to create this transparency efect.
Yes, I understand your wish, It's the same I have, to have the possibility
to see in real time a transaperent "layer" over the photographic VR pano,
with a ON OFF button, it would be Heaven for urban design, architecture etc.
I have done a experience using a 7200 VR pano for this purpose, (one 360 for
the existent, other 360 with the new building) but I sincerely don't like
this solution, it's less effective.http://www.sribascad.com/ChaletM.html
