The panorama camera on the model side will produce a cylindrical but not a spherical panorama.


I have the digital camera equipment and the stitching software to produce my own 360 x 180 spherical panoramas of the real world but when I try to produce a series of photos in TS to be processed through the same stitching software, it never works. It's as if the distortions of the TS camera don't make sense to the stitiching software.


My real world camera lens is a full frame fisheye 180 degree. But I can't figure out the FOV equivalent in TS, though I think it is around 3. Is there a conversion factor?


MrBones seems to have supplied a great example of a 360 x 180 panorama of a modeled scene (see photo below) in his Pano Viewer scene (PanoMod.RsScn) at

Does anyone know of a tutorial or any info on this? Thanks for any clues.
