I've had great results from Hugin but have never attempted to do 360° overhead.
As with everything, experience makes a difference. Hand held, rough-eyed overlap sometimes worked with the 'auto' function of Hugin, but most times had to hand pick the 'control points', and some times would have to start all over the end product was so unusable. With a tripod and and allowing generous 1/3 screen overlaps, the auto function invariable worked and the results were perfect for my non-commercial requirements. YMMV. For taking single shot 360 panoramas one of these are pretty cool, but expensive: http://www.0-360.com/index.asp#Optic HTH On Sun, Dec 6, 2009 at 10:34 AM, Sivakatirswami <[email protected]> wrote: > I keep dreaming that one day I will get beyond admin and have time to do > some "creative" well it may be soon. > > What are everyone recommendations as of 2010 > > for best tools for creating panoramas (including 360 degree horizontal over > head ones) on Mac OSX? > > I see a an open source package which runs on Macs: > > Hugin -- Free > > http://hugin.sourceforge.net/download/ > > Autopano gets great reviews but $$379.00 seems a bit outrageous? > > Panoweaver only outputs Flash... > > Lots of windows only options which I can't use. > > ?? > > Sivakatirswami > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > use-revolution mailing list > [email protected] > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution > _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
