Create a Little Planet Image
The Little Planet image is a stereographic projection that, that when manipulated in a way, resembles a photo of a tiny planet. Learn how to make one below.
-
Import your Equirectangular image into Pano2VR.
-
Open the Output Panel and add a
Transformation output. -
In the Transformation panel, change the projection type to
Stereographic. -
[Optional] To make it easier to see, detach the preview:
- Right-click in the preview image of the Output panel.
- Choose Detach.
- In the detached window, right-click and choose, Stay on top. This will
keep the preview window on top of the main window.
-
In the Preview section, deselect Use default view. Now the sliders below
will become adjustable. -
Adjust the FoV slider to zoom out a bit.
-
Adjust the Tilt slider until you begin to see a little planet form. ✭ Tip:
To create a tunnel effect, move the Tilt slider in the opposite direction. -
Use the Pan to rotate the image and
then, perhaps, the FoV slider again to fill in any empty space.
Print the Planet
- Set the image size so something large enough for printing, like 5000 x 5000.
Little Planets are generally a 1:1 ratio. - Set the Output image format (JPEG, TIFF, PNG) in the Output section.
- Click the Generate Output button at the top of the panel.
