Panorama overlays

The Panorama overlay provides the illusion of viewing an image from the inside out. For example, you can create a Panorama effect that lets
users see inside an airplane’s cockpit. They can rotate the view 360° and zoom in on the instrument panels.

The key to creating a panorama is getting the necessary images. Creating a Panorama effect requires a set of six images, which represent the six
inner sides of a cube. If you begin with a full panorama image, convert it to six cube images based on that image.

PTgui (

http://www.ptgui.com

) is a useful tool for creating panorama images. The WRwave website (

http://www.vrwave.com

) provides useful

information for shooting panorama photographs.

If you begin with a horizontal cross image, you can use Photoshop or a screen capture utility to create the six required images.

To divide a panoramic cross image into separate images, follow this pattern.
