You need more than just a tripod. While using a tripod is better than going handheld; a tripod still moves the focal point back and forth while it's being rotated because it's rotating on the base of the camera and not in the middle of the lens somewhere, so you get parallax distortion. Brian

When making panoramas inside you MUST use some sort of rig to spin the camera perfectly on it's focal point. That's the only way to make sure that you aren't introducing a lot of parallax distortion. If you are outside you can often get away with just taking a bunch of pictures in a circle be

Hugin can make 360 spherical pianos without any special effort. Just put all the images into Hugin that make up the sphere and it will do the test. The tutorial that you linked to is how to make an HDR spherical panorama, that's a little more effort than I think you want to do for real estate
