In reply to JIBS. Hi JIBS! Welcome! You can use Cupix or Metareal. Cupix is automated and uses computer vision. Metareal lets you build the 3d model yourself

Hi, i am complete newbie when it comes to this technology but a great enthusiast and really thinking about to giving it a start. After going through a few reviews, posts, Youtube videos, comparisson websites i was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction, or if anyone has ever done it, of how to create a 3D mesh from a house interior with a 3D camera (dollhouse) apart from Metaport . Which one is the best camera and which software to use. Many thanks.

I’ve been doing some editing in DxO Photolab, which isn’t 360 aware as well, but sofar I haven’t seen any inconsistencies afterwards. Seems to work there?

But I don’t believe Lightroom can actually stitch a panorama in 360. It can probably stitch flat 2d panorama’s, but for it to become a 360 there needs to be warping towards top and bottom and that needs a program to be able to translate flat to spherical.

In reply to Trebor. Hi Trebor. Lightroom is not 360-aware. So if you make certain edits, it will cause issues. For example if you adjust highlights, you'll find that if you view it in 360, the left edge and right edge will now look like it has a noticeable seam. Hopefully Adobe can make Lightroom 360 aware soon.

Hi.

Lightroom can merge raw photos into a panorama. I am already working in Lightroom for the color adjustments, so is there some reason I should not just be using Lightroom to make the 360 image?

Thanks Uwe! I don’t have vuze+ but i have vuze, which is similar. Fusion is more detailed than Vuze and Fusion definitely has better stitching. The advantage of Vuze is 3d 360 capability.

Another very capable virtual tour editor is Pano2VR. It features loads of customisations, scripting, auto-upload to streetview if wanted. It’s my personal favorite.

Here’s a sample of what it can do that I made of a tour around an old little castle:

Hi
What do you think about the new VUZE+ 2018 Model (color-fidelity, details, sharpness). I work in real estate and have an eye on GoPro Fusion, coz of the detailed 360-degree-pictures and good quality in shadows. I also have often small rooms and often the problem with a very bright window at one side and a much darker background on the other side. For this i like the preview App-LiveView to regulate the brightness for every lense-side. So its possible to make the windows-side a bit darker and the darker side a bit brighter. Unfortunately i doesn’t found comparing of picture-images like Vuze+ vs GP Fusion. Also not in YouTube. Would be nice when you can say sth about this or put the Vuze+ also in one of your next videos.
I like a lot your reviews and tests and im excited to see more. Greetings Uwe (from Germany)
