CREATE YOUR FIRST PANORAMA WITH THE PANORAMA SOFTWARE STITCHER

 
 

About Stitcher 5.0
Autodesk® Stitcher™ is the way to build high-quality panoramas for the Web, film, print, and 3D. With advanced features, Stitcher 5.0 gives photographers and artists the power to deliver the most impressive panoramas in the formats they need. Stitcher creates wide-angle, high-resolution 360° × 180° panoramic images in seconds from horizontally and vertically overlapping photos. You can create new image sets from the panorama using a virtual camera with zoom, pan, and roll motion. Results can be rendered as a cube, plane, cylinder, sphere projection, and as a QuickTime® (Cylindrical QTVR and Cubic QTVR), VRML, and Macromedia® format for creating high-impact Web pages, definition mattes, environment maps, and 3D models.

Goal of this tutorial session
This step-by-step tutorial teaches you how to create a Stitcher project and familiarizes you with Stitcher and its tools. The tutorial is divided into three parts:

 

The first part of the tutorial guides you through creating a full spherical panorama using Stitcher. You will load images, position, and stitch them together using different methods.
In the second part of the tutorial, you will finalize and render your project by creating a QTVR render.
In the third part of this tutorial, you will correct some details in the panorama, such as “ghost” effects or blurry zones caused by some elements in motion.
