Converting Images
After you have brought your image into Pano2VR, you can choose to convert that image to a different projection or into cube faces.
Convert to Cube Faces
-
Bring your image into Pano2VR.
-
Open the Properties Panel and click Convert Input.
-
In the dialog that pops up, choose Cube Faces as the Type.
-
Choose the naming convention for your cube faces in the Face Names menu.
-
Determine your Cube Face size.
This number is automatically generated for you and uses either width/4 or width/pi, depending on what is set in Pano2VR’s settings/preferences.
-
Choose an output format. If you choose JPEG, enter the JPEG quality or use the slider.
-
Change the name and folder of the image in the Output File if you wish. If you do not choose a new folder for the output, the files will automatically be added to the same folder as the source image.
✭ Tip: If you will be using the same format often, consider using Save as Default to save the current settings for the next conversion.
-
Click Convert to convert and save the images which should look something like this:
From Cube Faces to Equirectangular
-
Import any one of the cube faces into Pano2VR. Pano2VR will recognize the rest of the cube faces.
-
Open the Properties Panel and click Convert Input.
-
In the window that pops up, the type will be automatically selected. In this case, Equirectangular.
-
Follow steps 6 through 8 from above.
