You might also want to look into “3D rendering” or “3D modelling” from photos. Try a google search like "3d rendering from photos”.I also can't find out how to do the post-replies. But I keep searching. Don JohnstonSent from my 029 Keypunch.

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?

Please make sure to reply-all to keep the mailing list in the loop, and also try to put your replies below the quoted text. Turntables are completely different from panoramas. The way they work is by switching between separate, descrete images like a video does. You cannot "stitch" these images because there is nothing to stitch; they are each of a different perspective. Panorama stitching is basically the act of simulating having a wider lens (or in the case of mosaics, a larger flatbed scanner). A turntable 360, on the other hand, simulates flying a camera around an object. There is a technique called slit-scan that may be causing some confusion, as it technically is a form of panorama, however I do not think it is what you want: http://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2016/03/slitscanhead.jpg In short, you can't stitch turntable flyarounds. You just need a viewer that can play your normal images in sequence. --Sean -- A list of frequently asked questions is available at: http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
