Hi,
I've been working with a lot of point cloud data recently and so far everything has been working fine.
One of the outputs our engineers like is a virtual tour made from rendered images of the point clouds (like google street view) We also use this to create tours from 'normal' geometry as well.
To do this I position a camera in the scene and in the Cameras section of the Render set up select 'Spherical Panorama', override the FOV to 360 and the Vertical FOV to 180. This gives me a perfect panoramic image to load into our virtual tour software.
However this dosn't work for point clouds and I get a very small mass of points in the centre of the rendered image (if there is any normal geometry in the scene it renders OK).
If I change the angle on the FOV I can get it to work. It will render at 120x180 degree view but nothing bigger. So my workaround to to use 3 cameras and then join them together afterwards. this isn't a big issue with one view but the last one had 30 panoramas so it would be good to have it render in one go.
