At the moment, this is the easiest way to view panoramas without any additional applications. That's why section that describes how to view panoramas was really needed a new breath and got it as the 360° Panorama Web Viewer tool. There's nothing wrong with this approach other than having to generate panoramas from additional application, but the real problem is that the Adobe Flash is officially becoming a banned format for major browsers due to security policies and performance requirements. Then the *.swf file is ready, you open them in a browser and interact with the ready-made panorama. Back then, interactive panoramas weren't exactly a new concept, but there weren't as many software options to choose from as there are now.Īccording to the original approach, after you have rendered the panoramic image, you run stand-alone program ( Pano2QTVR from Garden Gnome) that use QuickTime codecs to create a panorama and generate a file in Adobe Flash format. The biggest update is in the section that describes panorama viewers. The 3ds Max and V-Ray versions have not been updated, as nothing has changed in this area for 10 years, so these settings are still relevant and have remained unchanged since the original tutorial. In the current update, some sections have received minor changes to be relevant for today.

This tutorial was originally written in 2010.
