Ahh- I haven't heard of an app that does that with photos, but I am assuming it would work the same way if you had took 6 pictures. There could be cameras that do that (that have 6 lenses etc).
I think it can be done by hand but you would need to place your tripod/camera perfectly, and even still do some photoshop adjusting... So for a real life photograph (since it is so hard to recreate the precision of the math in a 3d app), your best best would be something like the quicktime VR layout, or other "mapping" of the skybox or "panorama". Maybe google street view uses a system like the 6 images...but I am sure those cameras cost a lot!!!! In general the cameras to produce "perfect" images cost alot. There are hacks to create panorama images with a standard camera (such as use a shiny christmas ball). And there are software to create panoramas from many images, but I don't know of any offhand that will create the 6 image layout for you...if someone does please post! So the 6 images seem like its best left for something super accurate like a 3d renderer. -Pete On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 10:09 AM, Jensa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yup.
