Hi all,
I'm selling a piece of property for my father-in-law. I'm going to put together a small web page with all the specifics of the lot, some stills, and a QTVR movie of the lot's view. I've been rummaging through the various pieces of software to stitch panoramas together and to convert the panos to QTVR movies. I'm I little baffled as to which software to choose. I've tried Calico, cubic converter, PTMac, and VR Worx is doing some stitching as I type.
I am on Mac with leopard. Anybody have any recomendations for software? VR Worx so far seems to be the most "all-in-one" and reviews of it seem to be pretty good. Calico did a pretty rough job of stitching the images together, but I did not make any adjustments to the images prior to stitching them. PTMac seems to be a very manual process, but I haven't finished the pano to see the results yet.
I used my Rebel with a 50mm lens. I ballanced to daylight and only adjusted shutter speed with each shot to maintain a constant exposure throughout all of the images. I don't have a pano head, but since the pano is all distant landscape (minus a few close trees), I was hoping to get away with being off from the nodal point by a bit... for a test run anyway. I'm thinking that I could make a decent DIY pano head if need be. Any tips in the actual taking of the pano would be helpful as well.
Thanks!
