Any tool to convert 6x1 cube map to Spherical pano??

[eyepiz]

Well if anyone needs this in the future, some hardcore googling helped me write this no doubt clumsy bat file. But it does the job.
Needs krpano and imagemagick.
Think the bat file needs to be in the krpano folder as well to access the "maketiles" command.

Takes the cube strip, splits the faces (based on being 1536 square)
Flips the faces the right way
Renames the right direction.

You can then drop the faces on the krpano cube to sphere tool to get the spherical pano out of it.

mkdir "\\%~p1faces\"

set filepath=\\%~p1faces\


"%~dp0KRPANOTOOLS64.exe" maketiles %* "%filepath%\%~n1_split%%h.jpg" 1536

"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.2-Q16\magick.exe" mogrify -flop "%filepath%\%~n1_split1.jpg"
"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.2-Q16\magick.exe" mogrify -flop "%filepath%\%~n1_split2.jpg"
"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.2-Q16\magick.exe" mogrify -flip "%filepath%\%~n1_split3.jpg"
"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.2-Q16\magick.exe" mogrify -flip "%filepath%\%~n1_split4.jpg"
"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.2-Q16\magick.exe" mogrify -flop "%filepath%\%~n1_split5.jpg"
"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.2-Q16\magick.exe" mogrify -flop "%filepath%\%~n1_split6.jpg"

ren "%filepath%\%~n1_split1.jpg" "%~n1_r.jpg"
ren "%filepath%\%~n1_split2.jpg" "%~n1_l.jpg"
ren "%filepath%\%~n1_split3.jpg" "%~n1_u.jpg"
ren "%filepath%\%~n1_split4.jpg" "%~n1_d.jpg"
ren "%filepath%\%~n1_split5.jpg" "%~n1_b.jpg"
ren "%filepath%\%~n1_split6.jpg" "%~n1_f.jpg"

I tried the bat and it didn't work for me ...any ideas what I need to make this work? Splitting, flipping and renaming these faces manually is sooo tedious.. It takes all the fun out of VR.

sorry you need imagemagick for the flipping etc

also change .jpg to .tif in the bat file

Ive since found that when krpano splits the tiles to jpg the compression is pretty horrible

This is where my amateur bat writing skills become apparent.

But it looks like on your it's adding an additional slash to the path at the beginning? so \\\Krpano instead of \\Krpano ??? maybe?

You may not need those extra slashes at the start of the bat, I was processing files from a network location.. hmm

I see...I have zero writing skills what's so ever so this is way beyond me. I will give that a shot.

thanks for the quick reply.

Hi Stan I sent you a PM.
When you say you tool can convert cubemaps to panoramic tour in one click is it to work with Krpano or something else?

[Sbrusse]

Hi Eric,
Sorry for the late reply,
I just replied to your PM.

Yes it's based on KRPano but handles everything on his side and offers quite a few additional features.

Any feedback through PM or mail (sbrusse@gmail.com) will be appreciated,

Thanks
Stan

Hi guys,
Just though I'd would keep you updated : My online tool to convert cubemaps to VR tours has been released, it's available at VRto.me

Christopher Nichols has been kind enough to make a small tutorial explaining the basic of the tool. More information as well as the tutorial can be found here :
http://www.sbrusse.com/index.php/201...o-me-released/

It has also been featured on CG Labs and during Peter Guthrie's presentation at AD7 SOA last week.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers
Stan

According to this thread the next verison of Krpano will support several stereoscopic formats directly as input.
