It worked as you can see. The price was some cropping in top and buttom, Iīll pay. I was on a lucky strike again. Unfortunately, these things has a tendency to end at some stage. Mine lasted only until I tried the next set. The same problem was back, like a resistant virus. Had I been drawing the wrong conclusion ? On the edge of panic, I worked to answer this question. My new conclusion was that the friction-area within the zoom-lenses coursed this up to 4 % difference between them, and it wasīnt constant. The worst possible news for a guy in my position. No mather what 360-set I chose, the focallenghts were different. I was moving closer to a manual process - the wrong direction. And there was no way I was going to do that.
I was deep down in the darkest of depressions
I shouted the f-word ( we do that in Denmark too ) until I had no voice left. I had no ideas, so for about 10 weeks I didīnt shoot and I didīnt touch the computer. Seen from my point of view, I had 3 options.
1. Sell the shit while it still new, and go back to my 1950īs Realist.
2. Buy 2 more fixed lenses where any difference would be constant.
3. Sell one camera and only do conversions.
To day Iīm glad that I didīnt do any of them. One day it just came to me like those things do. In 360īs - story - part 5, 6...etc I will explain how I turn a lot of stereo images into anaglyphs, leveling out
focallenghts and turn it all into panorama 360īs. All in 15 minuttes or less - thats right 15 minuttes. We will start by having a look inside my folders...
I got a message earlier to day from Dabiri, where I learned that the groupmembers uses software-solutions ( SPM and anabuilder ) with special panorama features. I hope to see some samples and hear how long the production-time is estimated to be that way. I already feel like an idiot having posted this story, and therefore wasting your time, Dear group-member. Thats a 3D novice for you folks.
Hope to see somebody, anybody, in part 5.
Louis.
