I'm trying to import my stereo 360 images into Cardboard Camera, but i simply can't find anything about the format of the image - the app keeps saying "no new vr photos"

i have tried
- PANO_1.jpg
- test.vr.jpg

has anyone had any luck using this app and importing images?

thanks

it seems that this online tool can stitch two images together that can be imported into cardboard camera.......

why does it need to be so complicated to view simple stereo images :-(

Thanks a bunch! Very helpful :-)
BTW, are you actively using SketchUp with Octane? Does the plugin work for you? I'm having all sorts of trouble with materials... (see OTOY SketchUp forum). Thanks again!

hi chipp

i have been using the sketchup plugin on and off for years (and payed money for it) - but otoy has handled the development of this plugin (scattered their work to mutch?) so bad that for serious work i need to use 3ds max.

i really like the easy work in sketchup - so i hope we will see a useful plugin somewhere somehow....
