Anyone know how to tell google photos that a render done in octane should be an interactive panoramic like you can take on a smartphone?
Don't need VR, stereo etc. Just want to be able to pan around.
Looked for the process in the octane docs but couldn't find anything.

Hi Rik,
you would to add metadata into your render image using a photeditor.

Thanks.
After more digging, this lot tells you how it's done.
I used spherical camera and set fov to 360 and fov y to 180.
Hey Paride, get this lot in the manual please.
Reckon it might be useful as google photos is so widespread now. And free.
