Stereo 360 Panorama Render

Ideas & Requests

We already have an excellent 360 Panorama render in D5, I ask that the team commit to creating a 360 Stereo Panorama render, it would be extremely important for program users, Thanks

Thanks for the advice!

I totally agree stereo 360 panoramas are super important for our presentations

Thank you, we are looking into it.

I left D5 after a year of use and much enjoyment and now partially (2.2315% into Blender for its wonderful Stereoscopic Pano production. Slow, but a second GPU may be the price.

The parameters are exactly what are needed, especially inter-ocular distance, which even AutoDesk pay-per-shot doesn’t have at their outrageous price of $3+.

Hope you get a chance to take a look at Blenders implementation (open source) and I will be back immediately. Flat panoramas are OK, but we need an edge against big boys in the business.

The projection sphere radius seems to be too large now. Every object looks larger than usual for its distance. It means that the eye distance to the ground also appears larger. You feel about 15% taller. Some clients have complained of that in presentations.

Even if the projection is correct, using a very large-radius projection sphere will produce an image that when projected back onto a plane appears as if everything is compressed by a telephoto lens, nearly close to an orthographic (axonometric) projection. That is how it feels now.

On the other hand, everything will appear smaller for its distance from the eye when projected back onto a plane from a projection produced onto a short radius sphere.

It would be great to have an adjustable slider for the size of the sphere, Tiny to Very Large. I am sure you can test what would be visually acceptable. Obviously zero is meaningless. But for a dizzyingly compressed VR, the projection sphere’s radius should be quite large.

If this is right, a very large radius could produce some astonishingly compressed spaces in VR. So, please let users adjust it. Thanks.

PS: You can call that parameter by some user friendly word, such as Pano Focal Length, or Spatial Compression Factor.
