And here I was hoping there was something new to experience.
Sadly, it was a dForce post with 20 photos I had to redo in my other thread (and 2 of the images used your The Neighbor's Yard set). Maybe this will incentivize me to do some more 360's
nice stuff, thanks for the headsup
not sure if this will work

@head wax looks good! has a painterly quality to it.
(BTW, your link isn't working so I had to download the image and use another viewer to see it. Did you respond to the 2VR verification email? It won't remain active unless you do.)
thanks :) - yes I responded, I uploaded it a few times with another as well and it worked as first then came up with a dead link. ..... ? Any clues happily received!
Probably the easiest thing to do is start over and upload the same image again
Here's a 360 render using Northern Winter Village as the setting. It's slow to render in Iray so I used Scene Optimizer to cut all the textures except the mountain background by half, which allowed it to render with my GPU. Size is 4096 by 2024.
snow looks like... snow! nice job , beaut lighting
thanks head wax
Here's one using Firstbastion's Rural Crossroads and Road Trip Hippy Van.
Click here for 360 render. Below is screenshot.
How well do these work as HDRs? Or is this more of a novelty? I'm curious about using something like this to speed up animation time. If I could for example do my story boards, figure out my camera angles and then render the 360 HDRs that I need for an animation using my sets, I could really cut down on render time.
@NSFW I don't think they will work as HDRI's as they don't have the bit depth to store the light info (although I recall a thread or two discussing how you might be able to make your own HDRI's out of multiple canvasses). They could be used on a background dome if you have another way to provide light. What's possible also depends upon whether you are rendering in 3DL or Iray.
A 360 view of The Basement. Click on the brackets in the lower right corner of the 360 view to see full screen. The lighting is what comes with the set. The textures show a well-used, somewhat decrepit basement that can be used as the setting for many action scenes.
Yikes, don't think I want to visit that basement!
I know. When I was young, I remember thinking both my grandparent's houses had spooky basements. When I was older, I realized they were just old. Nothing like this of course.
My grandmother had one of those basements where you go outside and enter through low to the ground storm cellar type doors. That is where her wringer washing machine was located (old even for those old times). I was terrified of that place and of that machine.
Same here! The one with the outside storm cellar door also had a lift door in the kitchen pantry - you would raise the floor and have to go down the steps using the lights from the kitchen until you could reach a bare light bulb that turned on with a string, but I was too little to reach it.
I did a dForce footsteps scene with the Golf Course and decided to render it in spherical mode since it has a full surrounding. I titled it "Confused Golfer" because after rendering in 360, I noticed the golfer was chipping AWAY from the hole (I didn't notice in the dForce scene as it didn't matter with the camera view I had).
See it in 360 here.
Really, really late on this one, but you should be able to render 360 scenes that work for HDR lighting by rendering to a beauty canvas. That will give you a nice high dynamic range exr file.
Great tips, thank you everyone! I'm working on an animation project with th is now; I'll share it when it's done!
Hope you do, thanks for commenting
Is there not another application available that you can install locally not requiring to upload to view at this time?
I have GoPro VR Player 3.0. It runs on my PC and was free. I don't have a link handy, but you can probably Google it.
Very nice, thanks for mentioning! Do you know if the settings that were first mentioned in this thread for the camera resolution works well within that player?
If you are talking about the 2:1 ratio and spherical distortion, then yes, those are the settings to use for a 360 degree render of your scene. The viewport won't show the whole 360 scene. You will need to render to see it all.
Great! Thanks for the info. Works great thanks again!
I recently started rendering panoramas myself (after doing the traditional photographic approach for more than ten years)
This is one of my first results. I even did a stereo version, which is much better than this one, but you have to view it on a VR headset on my blog
The link also works for desktop and mobile browsers. The interactive version is IMHO much better than the flat equirectangular version I attached here!
Nicely done! Very crisp and clean looking on your blog. What do you display it with on the blog?
For converting the stereo images I use Pano2Vr from Gardengnome software: https://ggnome.com/pano2vr
The initial resolution of the equirectangular was 6000x3000 pixels. So the stereo panorama has 6000x6000 but separately rendered.
