Settings to improve "soft" panos
Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2008 7:16 pm
Hi all, I've read some old posts regarding the "fuzziness" or "softness" of smaller flash panos, and I was having the same problem. I was wondering if any of you could post settings you've found to be the best for what you're trying to do. Again, this is for the smaller, 400x300-ish sizes with a goal filesize of ~300k or thereabouts. I've been happy with the larger fullscreen-size panos so far but the small ones are tough to nail down a set of numbers for. Some basic questions:
1. Is there an optimum source file width I should use, or is it simply "the bigger the better"?
2. What kind of cube face size/quality combination are you guys happy with?
3. Is my only hope to simply oversharpen the source images?
4. Preferred filters?
5. Are there any other tricks I should know (besides turning off anti aliasing)?
Thanks!
Edit: Crap, I put this in the wrong folder...this was meant for the "Pano2VR general" folder. Can an admin move it?
