Render the Metaverse - Dotcommers' WIP

When you're viewing your pano on dermandar, right click and you'll see the option to get the link for it. You could also just copy the url while you're viewing the pano. Hope that helps!

Seems only to work with 180 and not spherical 360s?

For uploading your panorama to Photosphere, you need to add the Photosphere metadata to it. Here's a quick tutorial on that:

• go here: https://photo-sphere.appspot.com/ and upload your panoramic image. You can skip the GPS location stuff and just hit "next". Then click "Download".
• If you want to view this through cardboard, rename the image to "PANO_##_MMDDYY" the important thing is that it says "PANO" in the beginning of the file name, upload it to your DCIM folder on your android device, then launch the cardboard app and select "photospheres". You should see it.
• If you want to share it online through Photosphere, upload that same file you downloaded to your google+ photos account and then share it publicly. Then copy the link while viewing it.

@Martincarlson
for Dermandar:
• Sign up if you haven't already
• click "Share" (not "create"), and then drag and drop your panoramic image into their upload area. It will upload and ask you if its a wide-angle or spherical (choose spherical). You'll get a chance to review it before finalizing
• If everything looks right, click "Upload/Restart", and confirm the image's details and then submit it. It should be available to view and share immediately after that.
• you can get a shareable link of it by copying the URL when you're viewing the pano.

Been a busy week for me, so not a lot of progress, but I got a few more things modeled in, and I'm starting to experiment with the texture of the earth.

Cool but quite claustrophobic.

Cool but quite claustrophobic.

Interesting. You're the first person to mention that. What would you suggest to alleviate some of the claustrophobia?

Thanks for your feedback.

It's because it is small closed space that's why it feels claustrophobic for me
