Hi...

At the moment i can not afford Octane VR to make 360 3D pano scenes...so i was wondering if there is any other software with which this is also possible?...

Or is Octane VR definitely the only possibility to this with at the moment?...


Any alternatives?...



thx.

Hi Sheedee3d,
yes of course, you can do 360 stereo cube maps panos with any recent version of OctaneRender Standalone or integrated plugin, not only OctaneVR :D
Sorry, I was joking, but I couldn't resist :)
I really don't know if other packages have the same settings and output of OctaneRender cube maps :roll:

How long does it roughly take to render a 360 pano 3D scene with Octane VR?...

The time is absolutely scene and GPU dependent, so is impossible to define a standard. A single object in the sky can take only few seconds while a full interior scene obviously needs more computation time. Roughly, is like rendering a 6000 x 6000 pixel image ;)

Stereo Pano image is 12:1 stripe with two cubes unfolded.. it's ~24MPix (18432x1536) so that's a lot of pixels to be calculated, but much more han that it depends on Your scene, optimisations & other things..

as for alternatives, Vray should have this functionality if I'm not mistaking, but.. it's even more costly =)
