Fantastic, thankyou. Ok I am not sure how to put my replies below the quoted text. But trying.
Is there a program that I can use to assemble multi row 360 views. I have a program that does single row 360's (fly arounds) as well as the automated hardware that comes as an automated product photography package and I sell the imagery commercially. As such I apologise for any incorrect terms however my focus is not verbage it is simply to find a program that can assemble a presentation of a multi row 360 that, when it (the program) pumps out an HTML5 or flash image, enables the viewer to see 360 x 360. That to me means all the way around on more than one plane, like a spherical panorama but *viewed from the outside* of the sphere. Take for example a shoe. I want to be able to look all the way around that shoe along its horizontal plane as well as its vertical plane so I can see the top and bottom as if I am holding it in my hand. UX stuff you know. Its all about UX in online sales. Thanks again to all that can help. On Tue, Sep 20, 2016 at 5:06 PM, Sean Greenslade <s...@seangreenslade.com> wrote: > > > Can you be more specific?
