Rendering Incomplete Spherical Panoramas

  • Hi,

    I have a 360-degree panorama that is less than 180 degrees tall. You can see the original here. I am not sure what my options are when I use makemultires. My intuition is to say that it is a spherical shot because it is - it was shot with a gigapan imager and is made from multiple rows. However, when I chose spherical the results were not what I expected - the horizon is curved upwards. The documentation suggests that I can set the vertical viewing direction so I tried setting vlookat to +20 to counteract the curved horizon. That didn't work - indeed it seemed to have no effect at all, irrespective of what value I gave for vlookat.

    This made me think that I should have said that the image was a cylindrical one, so I tried that but the results seemed to be exactly the same.

    Can someone tell me what I need to do to get a straight horizon please?

    Thanks,

    Aeris.
