Smooth move 360 deg panoramics 2004-03-09 - By Visual Impact

Does anyone remember this little program demo that came with trueclips
3.
These were the instructions for the camera setup in truesace 3 -
1.
Create six cameras in the same location, and set the size of each camera
(in dynaunits) to X=0.500, Y=1.000, Z=0.300. This can be done by
right-clicking the Object Tool (arrow).
2.
Rotate each camera to direct them up, down, left, right, back, and front
at precise 90-degree increments.
3.
When rendering, set resolution to Other, and make the width and height
equal. (For example, H=500 and W=500.) Remember to make the output a
.bmp and not a .tga file. Leave effects such as motion blur off.
4.
You will need to create one .bmp file for each of the 6 camera
positions.
5.
When done rendering, go into "CG Seamer", and load the corresponding 6
views, then push "Seam". You simply have to select your compression
method, then save! The .pan file can be viewed immediately using the
stand-alone viewer.
These images would then be painted onto the inside of a cube to give a
full 360 deg. pan.
When I render these images out in ts6 the images do not seamlessly match
anymore.
I think what may be happening is that when you render out the 500 x 500
images ts6 takes the width as 500 therefore increasing the height of the
cameras view.
Has anyone come across this and found a solution.
I really need to get this done this way as I need the full 360deg pan
other than a quicktime slit.
Thanks,
John Butcher
