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

Thanks Dave,
I'll try .42 for the z direction which it states in the link you gave.
Great program too.

This will take those 6 images and map them into seamless 360 degree
spherical or cylindrical panoramas.

Awesome program...and it is free. Works great with image from Terragen
for making Sky Domes.
Thanks,

John,
For best results with your method, I would suggest you make sure that
your
rendering viewport is also 500x500. Since ts5, the viewport size and
aspect ratio now affects the output render.
You could also try Tom Grimes's Panorama Free shader for shaderlab.
Just
paint a plane with this shader then tell the shader where the camera
should
be. When you render, just show the plane. The resulting image is a
full
360 degree panorama and can be used to texture a sphere or skydome if
that
is easier for you. 3 things to note though; 1, generally the plane
should
not be visible from the camera position otherwise you will see your
plane.
2, some shaders, particularly shaderlab shaders may not show up in the
rendered output. 3, the output is only an approximation of a sphere,
although it should be acceptable for most situations.
