I have trueclips 3, however do you remember what subdirectory it came
from? I was
going to zip it and send it off to you.

Does anyone remember this little program demo that came with trueclips
3.
These were the instructions for the camera setup in truesace 3 -
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).
Rotate each camera to direct them up, down, left, right, back,
and front at precise 90-degree increments.
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.
You will need to create one .bmp file for each of the 6 camera
positions.
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
