G'day Paul,

Welcome to the Easypano forums.

Tourweaver will display any style of photograph. They can be still shots, part panoramas, cylindrical or spherical 360x180. Any of these can be linked via Hotspots and maps etc.

Stitching is another program "Panoweaver" and that is where the lens and amount of shots required comes into to play.

Regards, Smooth

Hi Smooth,
I was thinking that tour weaver 4.00 would do the hole job.So you have to buy two programes.I was talking to a photographer today and he said the sigma 8mm fish eye will do the job with the canon 40 D ???

G'day Paul,

Panoweaver does the stitching and can produce single panoramas in Flash or Quicktime.

Tourweaver compiles multiple stitched panoramic scenes into a virtual tour with hotspots, maps and guided walkthrough etc.

You can buy the "Studio" version which combines both Pro versions at a discounted rate.

You can use a Canon 40D and Sigma 8mm Fisheye combination no problem. You will need to shoot 4 shots at 90 degrees stops using a panorama head so that you are rotating around the No Parallax Point (NPP). A panohead is very important for consistent results and ease of stitching which will reduce the amount of stitching errors.

Regards, Smooth

Hi Smooth,
Thanks a lot for your help. Sorry for getting back so late. When I get the programs I hope it is not to complicated.
Regards
Paul

TW 5 also crashed today !

I tried to rename the "map" folder to map1, start TW5 and open my project but "CRASH" without any notice

At least one HORROR message should be displayed !

For such an expensive program, I really do not appreciate !

You cannot rename the folders after the fact. Tourweaver requires the paths to stay intact (as it calls images/data from them).

Change the folder name back and it should open again OK.

Hi Smooth,

just renaming "map" to "mapxx", and starting TW5Pro forced TW5 to create "Map" empty directory (with a uppercase "a") before crashing !

I deleted "Map", renames "mapxxx" to "map", but ... unsuccessfully

Reagrds,
Dominique
