Not to confuse things further but I really like VR Toolbox from
http://www.vrtoolbox.com/vrthome.html.  Its reasonably priced, works great
and is cross platform. :) Also has a free demo.

Subject: <lingo-l> OT: panorama software


Hi Guys,
could use a bit of advice as to what panoramic stitching software to take
the plunge with. I've been evaluating what i can this week and my results
have been mixed, with the demo versions, so i'm hoping that some of you guys
have been doing this for a while and can pass on your experience.
Our requirement is to do full 360 x 180 panaromas, with qtvr hotspot
functionality and to embed in director and also web pages.

i think we've narrowed it done to a choice of four.

1 - QTVR authouring studio, - unfortunately cant find a demo program, it
also appears like its not being pushed by apple very much and is quite old.
2 - realviz stitcher - currently our preferred pick, but the demo version
fatally crashes as soon as you select quicktime format for rendering export,
also its pricey and has no java player export for web delivery (am i right
in thinking that Standard Win XP has no Java VM and therefore xp users would
not be able to play these without downloading the java VM ?)
3 - 3dvista - sounds great with all the claimed capabilities and output
formats, but the demo crashes a lot and the results dont seem as as good as
realviz, anyone used the available xtra with this programs output ?
4 - panorama tools - nice and cheap, but we haven't been able to get as good
results for spherical panaromas as with realviz stitcher.
any thoughts/experience much appreciated
