For that does the video have to have camera distortion? or regular OpenGL Perspective (with a big FOV) is good for what you want? If Fisheye or Cube Map can be used in Panini (I'm not quite familiar with panini, but I'm a great fan of Hugin :) you can get nice videos/ still images from projects done in the Blender Game Engine. For some of the examples I've been using for fulldome tests you can see this paper and slides: http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/papers/blender10/ Or those (in Spanish): http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/papers/blender09/ Regards, Dalai http://blenderecia.orgfree.com On Jul 12, 9:00 am, Bruno Postle brunopos...@googlemail.com wrote: On 12 July 2010 16:24, Tom Sharpless tksharpl...@gmail.com wrote: Does anyone here have, or have the ability to make, super-wide screen video from a favorite game?

Hi Cri, I could not resist making Panini views from some of your flightgear panos, see them at http://vedutismo.net/GamePix/FlightGear_Views.html. Game developers take note: general Panini is great for ultra-wide game views! Does anyone here have, or have the ability to make, super-wide screen video from a favorite game? I would like to convert some of that to Panini, as a demonstration of what is possible.

I thought of automating the process (in particular for Flightgear that is very customizable with xml) but I've almost zero knowledge on programming so they were taken by hand In FlightGear you can pause the simulation (use the p key) but you can still do things like pan or zoom your view or change the view position. So taking a set of screen shots for a panorama by hand is a fairly simple process. But automating it should be fairly simple as well at least for someone with some programming experience. But I think this would require using nasal rather than XML although you would use XML to map a key or button to the nasal script.
