support for oneshot donut images?

hi all,

will you add support for oneshot donut images?

2nd - is it possible to have a full 360Â° quicktime panorama?
currently the movie stops either to the left or right border - would be nice if you could turn around nonstop.

Maybe some day...

What do you mean? The view is only limited if you have set some viewing limits... Maybe the tutorial at http://gardengnomesoftware.com/tutorial.php can help you to find the problem.

Thomas, the question being asked is I believe. Would it be possible to set the tilt -90, 90 to nothing so you can rotate 360 x 360 rather than just 360 x 180. So basically without any stop limits!

Not sure why anyone would want this but that is the question being asked.

Sure, you can set the tilt limits to for example -900 and +900 and then you can rotate over the zenith and nadir.

Thomas, I haven't tested this (because I have no use for it) but wouldn't setting -900, +900 eventually after multiple loops hit the limit of the tilt?

Pretty sure other software viewers like Immervision and Omniviewer have no final limit.

Still it is good to know.

Yeah, it would hit a limit... but you can set it to 90000 so it would take a while

. The good thing is that this trick also works for QuickTime where you can not disable the limiting.

can u tell which viewer is used here:

http://www.mp-gmbh.com/vrtour_v4/hotel_ ... nis=panos/

or if pano2vr is same as good?

in the link above you can rotate 360Â° without limits and its pretty smooth
and what's also nice - after some time of inactivity it starts moving automatically.

i'm wondering which lens is used as u can also look up + down.

ps: can we talk german also?
