On normal VR images, the tripod below is also already eleminated from the picture (with most often the logo of the artist in the center on the floor), so eliminating a camera-boom/-arm should be just as easy....it just takes more skills if the boom blocks important/complex details/objects (and having a recognizeable/sizeable person/object close-by is essential for the impact of course) Only thing missing is a continuous vertical swing....but that has been done in the past too: http://www.medienfrech.de/xon/panofrech/index.html http://perso.wanadoo.fr/panoramas.re/vrp/loop.mov http://perso.wanadoo.fr/panoramas.re/vrp/acro.mov Btw, on last years PhotoKina, IPIX showed motion picture VR....sample of a double-decker plane taking off....and at every moment of the flight, you could change your point/angle of view....lovely....:)) (and I am by far no fan of IPIX, if only because of their nasty business practises & legal harassment, being worse than MicroSoft; but they claim they don't do that anymore (even admitting that they *did* is a significant step)) (couldn't pass the chance to grill them on that subject on the Kina of course....:)) Anyway, would love to repeat such a camera-boom trick in a ski-lift or on a ski-cliff someday....or think about doing a single VR-shot while in mid-air, ski-jumping, camera between the ski-boots....:)) (once took a very nice circular-fisheye shot that way, static/normal shot, standing still, ski's pointing towards a breath-taking scenery in the distance/valley, and with bright-neon snow-gaiters against a deep blue sky....lovely....:)) -- Bye, Willem-Jan Markerink The desire to understand is sometimes far less intelligent than the inability to understand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [note: 'a-one' & 'en-el'!] * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
