4K Resolution Pano

[zap]

What resolution and setup would be needed to create a 4K compatible panorama ?

4K of source or 4K of display?

Hi

A client of me has a setup of 4K Screens in its showroom and had the idea to show some 4K content created as 360° panorama.

So 4K = 3840 pixels × 2160 pixels

We generate equirectangular panos actually at 8000x4000 pixel but its obviously less when wrapped and shown...
Any input to share to get crisp sharp 4K content generated.

I guess al least 12000*6000 source pano needed.

Yeah, you should use 12k for a display FOV of 120 degrees (which is a third of 360 degrees, 12k/3=4k).
Here's some explanation: http://www.360heros.com/2015/02/4k-vr-3 ... roduce-it/

It's about 360 video but applies to still panoramic images as well.

Simply multiplied by 2x

~ 8K panoramic texture for 2K display
~ 16K panoramic texture for 4K display

? Would shooting raw help with the large image color depth and detail ?

workflow:
RAW image converted to uncompressed tif file format
16bit color depth
high pixel per inch

Just thinking out loud.

Hi
thx
Ï will go with hum@noids advoice and create output 16000x8000 for 4K output display
