What is the best way to upload the panorama so that it can be accessed for ‘perpetuity’ let’s say.
The reason I would lke to know is that I include QR codes on my working drawings as a design and building aid. This could mean many hundreds of panoramas build up over the years. To rely on them being held on the enscape server is not realistic - I would prefer to either host them on my own website hosting/server, or have them stored on my own physical office server which has a cloud share facility (its a WD Mycloud EX2 server). This means that if I or someone wants to use the QR code in 2 months , 2 years or 20 years time the data will still be available (assuming my server/website is still running).
Download them as JPG’s from the Upload manager and then save/host them wherever you wish. You could easily either create QR Codes for each with something like https://www.qr-code-generator.com/ or better still have a web gallery with a visual index of all of them.
The gallery would mean you’d only have to share the one link to the gallery and simply adding a new pano will (should) automatically update the index.
I’m obviously technically ‘challenged’ when it comes to understanding what you have said, because if I download the pano as a JPEG, how does my phone know to use its motion sensor functionality? That info would need to be contained within the QR code I assume - but if I am generating the QR code using a website or server location of my choosing - the necessary code to enable motion sensors wont be there - this would currently be coming from Enscape’s programming/software when it generates the QR code - no?
I’ve uploaded the JPEG pano - you know what these looks like no doubt. To view this as an immersive 3D view needs my iphone to understand the data and use it’s motion sensors, etc.
The viewer does the gyro stuff not the pano file, it’s just a simple jpg image.
This pano tour is made with 3DVista (modelled in SketchUp/rendered with Enscape) if you view it on mobile or iPad there’ll be a button in the menu to turn on the gyro functionality (I turn it off by default) https://www.tours.blockcpm.studio/percyplace/tour/
Unclear on what you are wanting here… you were looking for alternatives to hosting w/Enscape right? Enscape is just generating an equirectangular 360 image - you need some software to display that image properly. The QR code only provides a link to a web location - there is no info included as to how the browser should interpret the image. Enscape provides a very basic online viewer but there are dozens of 360 hosting sites that offer many more features. (roundme, seekbeak, kuula etc) But yes you’ll have to pay for hosting. 3d Vista allows you to add all the bells and whistles like those sites but host it yourself. It’s kind of a niche thing, I’m not sure it makes sense for Enscape to devote resources to 360 tours when there are many existing options out there.
You can also use the Ricoh Theta free desktop app to show 360 images on your PC and avoid web hosting altogether.
Create the 3D pano view using Enscape’s 360Mono panorama function in the Revit plugin
Upload the pano to Enscape’s server via the revit plugin
Save the Enscape-generated QR code as a PNG file
Place that PNG image on the drawing sheet that it relates to
Use iphone camera to scan the QR code and be then asked to open it in a browser - click yes
View the interactive pano on iphone in 360deg
The thing I want to do is upload the 360Mono panorame to MY server, or MY website so all my panoramas are not kept on Enscapes servers. (For reasons listed at the start of my thread). Everything else in my workflow I want to keep the same.
Yes, then you either need to buy 3DVista or similar, or find/figure out code to do it as Paul linked in the first reply. There isn’t anything else that can be done on Enscape’s end.
You can use a viewer that either me or @rifkin mentioned to see the image projected on a sphere
You can use a QR generator to create a code that links to a pano’s url
There’s nothing special about a pano file, it’s just a jpg
There’s nothing special about a QR code, it’s just a shortcut that a camera can understand.
Enscape provide a very basic pano viewer as an ‘Addon’ to their service,
Prior to me using 3DVista I knocked up a website that stored the panos in a database and used the pannellum js library to present them. Adding a QR generator would be a trivial exercise. I’m no coder so if I can do it, it can’t be that hard.
