Hello there, this is a demonstration I created a while ago to show what could be done to show a car's interior in a 360 spherical pano. A friend o'mine lent her car to the cause and the shots were made actually in the forest near Mexico City. Because of the HDR of the scene, bracketing had to be done and the interior and exterior of the shot were processed apart. As you can see there are interactive areas in the car, you can turn it on/off, equally with the radio, open the "guantera" (I don't know how to say this in english) and sound the horn. It's just a demo but I think it's fine enough to share with the comunity. Comments and critics are greatly appreciated.

Heey, Thanx man!! About the bug, my idea with the keys was them to go invisible after you turn off the car, kinda simulating they were removed, and that they would appear again after you hover the mouse on their place, offering the option to turn it on again. Reading your comment I think it still needs some development there, cause maybe people can think the "turn the car on" option is gone after they press the keys. Need to think about it more.

Cheers!

Yeah, that could be, I'm thinking also to just let there the keys, without altering it's alpha, that way they'll be there to turn on/off whenever users want.

Cheers!

I see, well I'm happy with the light level inside and outside, after all considering the local adaptation capacities of the human eye, it compensates light levels to match "perceived luminosity" both inside and outside scenarios. However I agree something's missing to give a more realistic touch to the scene, I think part of the issue is due to excessive saturation in the grass and trees, actually I have problems when adjusting green saturation, just recently I began to develop a more realistic touch. Anyway thanx for the comment, I'll consider it for future works experimenting more with the next HDR's to see if I can increase realism with more contrast between inside and outside areas of a pano.

Anyone else have any advice on how to increase realism? I'd love to hear some more opinions around this issue, I do think some realism is missing in the image but I don't quite grasp what's the matter.

Cheers!

Okey, finally fixed the key's issue, now they don't go completely transparent when car turns off, instead they remain in their place with a 0.5 alpha, getting solid as user hovers the mouse over them. Think it's more clear this way

Check it!

Thanx maaike! And I really really appreciate your tip about enfuse, I didn't know this option and it seems very powerful, certainly it's a MUST to try it!

Cheers!

Hey there! your comments are appreciated. I agree about bright sun, the high dynamic range of the scene made really dificult to keep details both inside and outside and at the end the final look is acceptable but not enough for me, seems somehow unnatural. Instead of using a darkening material for the windows my choice was to expose for the interior and sub and overexpose two more shots 2 steps down and up which in the end was't enough. Right now I'm working a lot with some enfuse techniques that maaike suggested and they're throwing really good results, if I do something else in this sense I'll publish it here.

Cheers!
