new to spherical panoramic render

[Tommybouy]

Hi,

would really appreciate some insight to how this was made.

I recently received a .html file of a interactive (rotate and zoom) spherical panoramic or a stadium, very smooth and slick. Camera was set to 1.8 m off ground - standing in center of football pitch.

The file was just a single .html file. I launched it in Firefox and only 3 icons on bottom of screen, Full screen, Zoom and an info icon, (see attached) when i press the info icon it brings me to http://pano.autodesk.com/  what confuses me is that, that site seems to focus on VR headgear.... what i do know is that the stadium was built in Revit,

1) Did they create the 360 spherical html directly from Revit?
2) having viewed the source code of the page  i was none the wiser to how it is embedded as its encrypted/other no simple url calling a image file.

I do not use Revit but use 3DS MAX + VRray and was able to render out a spherical 360 image that was then used with pano2vr to create a html file, works fine but it needs the accompanying files with the html file to work, so sharing to view could be an issue if someone doesn't have all files locally.

Is there an Autodesk facility online that I can turn my VRay rendered image into a sigle .html file like the original  one i got of the stadium??

Hope the above is clear,

Thanks

Tom

Hi @Tommybouy,

The html file that you received is a panorama rendering from Revit. Once your model is complete in Revit, you can render it as a panorama using Cloud rendering and once that's done, it can be downloaded as a html file. Here's the help page 

Panorama - http://docs.autodesk.com/ADSK360/help/ENU/rendering/index.html#!/url=./files/GUID-1FC8312E-8F5A-4317...

Stereo panorama (viewed using VR device)- http://docs.autodesk.com/ADSK360/help/ENU/rendering/index.html#!/url=./files/GUID-04ABDDCA-4F5D-4EB7...

You can also produce Cloud renders from 3DS Max too. Here's a blog post about it - http://area.autodesk.com/blogs/the-3ds-max-blog/using-the-autodesk-a360-cloud-rendering-in-3ds-max-2...

Thanks,

I wrote a blog post that explains how to convert the strip image that the Autodesk pano render makes into a format that can be used with other Web viewers such as roundme.com:

Revit and 3dsmax have the option to render in cloud still and panorama views.

Then you can download as html format or strip vertical or horizontal.

If you want to insert this panorama into another web you need to do some format convertion.
