CUbemap 6x1 to equirectangular.

[Karonte]

As title.... i have old Vray renderings with 6x1 cubemap ( some also stereo 12x1).
Is there a quick way to transform them to a more "compatible" equirectangular format?
Regards.

Any suggestions Chaos? I cannot render 2 times all panoramas......

Pano2vr has that option

Hi Karonte,

Pano2vr has that option

Bear in mind post transformation isn't guaranteed to work out fine (pixel stretching), although going from cubic to equirectangular, you may not suffer from the issue that much.
Only re-rendering in the correct output format will ensure you'll get each pixel properly antialised.

Hi Karonte,

Pano2vr has that option

thanks. it works.


Yes Lele, you are right. but it was My first work with Vray sterescopic images years ago! The week after Chaos released the tool . ....and I lost the .max

I wonder if Vray can somehow render out equiangular cubemaps, EAC? I hear this is the best mapping option so far, with minimal pixel distortion.
Right now, the spherical render camera in Vray will render an equirectangular map.

Interesting examples of mapping types, and a tool (click on the author name.).

While we're on this subject, does anyone know if it's possible to make google photos recognise a cubemap? I've been converting to rectangular for the purposes of viewing/sharing on that platform, but it would be better if I could just use the cubemap I used to create them.
