A Flash panorama differs from a regular panorama in that it is implemented in a circle, due to which it supports the 3D effect. You can create various compositions that will be used on a computer as a screensaver or used on the Internet.
Necessary
- - Adobe Flash Player 10 program;
- - Microsoft Research Image Composite Editor program;
- - Pano2VR program.
Instructions
Step 1
To create your flash panorama, you need a camera, a tripod (preferably but not required), a computer and three programs: Adobe Flash Player 10, Microsoft Research Image Composite Editor and Pano2VR. Download these programs and install on your computer. Select an object for the panorama and take photos with 5-10 percent overlap around the edges of the joint. For such large-scale photographs, it is better to choose a square or a large intersection as a panoramic object so that the panorama will look spectacular later.
Step 2
Transfer the taken photos to the hard drive of your computer. Launch Microsoft Image Composite Editor and open all the terrain files you made in it. It will take time for the program to glue the photos in the overlapping areas. Trim the jagged edges, as the program advises, and save the resulting panorama as a regular photo. Look carefully at all the corners of the picture so that there are no errors.
Step 3
Open Pano2VR and specify the previously created file as the project file. By clicking on the "Import" button, indicate that the panorama will be cylindrical. From the Export Format menu, choose Flash, then a preferences window will appear.
Step 4
Experiment with the settings to choose the desired panorama quality. If you want to upload a panorama to the Internet, go to the HTML tab in the settings and check the box next to the "Connect HTML file" item. After pressing the "Ok" button, the flash panorama file that you just created will appear on the hard drive. Examine the photo carefully in order to notice inconsistencies and small flaws in time. At any time you can edit already created files using these programs.
