PanoCamAdder+ now available!

Hello!
I'm not sure if I understood you correctly..

The name is very important!

Example:
Name = 001

This will create

001_CAM (camera)
001_HANDLE (empty)
001_ROT (empty)
001_MAT (material)
001_WORLD (world)

Do not rename these things!
Enter unique(!) names for each panoCAM.

Blender automatically adds numbers to a name if a name already exists..
This also can cause problems when distributing/applying pano materials.

PCA2.0 creates placeholder materials if a corresponding material is not found. So these problems can be easily fixed later.

However, you can easily avoid problems by assigning unique names and not renaming anything.

I mean, when I click the image on the right side, the name of the image on the left side can automatically get the name of the image, and now we need to input the name into the name. I feel that this step takes a little bit of time.

Have you ever encountered it?Add 3D depth, Why is the model not as clear as before after rendering?For specific effects, please refer to the attachment

Hi, I have a question, I'm not sure if it's a **problem** or what.

When I click 1 to operate, the system seems to have assigned the first material. Then, in 2, I have assigned the material for some of the faces.

If I want to return to 3 to see if there are any other adjustments to the camera perspective, and I click 1 again, the material assigned in 2 seems to have returned to its original state.

I'm not sure if I understand your concern.

Hello!
I'm not sure what you want to achieve.
But I think it's important to understand that both operators (assign pano_material and distribute pano_materials) remove all material slots from the selected mesh in the first step..

I hope this helps a little bit.

With kind regards, Mische

New Tutorial!

The new ‚distribute-pano-mats‘ function distributes the different panorama materials to the faces of the model. But only one material can be assigned per face..

This can sometimes lead to an unsightly distribution on very low poly models.

In this tutorial I will show you a workaround to create highly detailed textures!

Link to the tutorial

Best regards! :)

Faster production transition from aerial photography to ground panoramas is possible, using krpano+PCA2.0.1

Can you record video? I can't follow the documentation tutorial. I'm not very familiar with Blender.

Mische · January 24, 2024 at 6:36 AM

Hello!

Just describe to me where you're stuck. Then I can certainly help you further.

I don’t know how to bake, I can only make it according to the video. I want you to make a video operation process.

Mische · January 25, 2024 at 10:58 AM

There is another dollhouse-tutorial (how to create/bake dollhouse texture).
And a screencast-video on YouTube.

I hope it helps.

good360vr.com · January 30, 2024 at 9:24 AM

Our modeling follows the PCA standard. There are complete tutorials here, including indoor and aerial panorama roaming modeling tutorials. Of course, you can also give me the panorama to make a roaming model, and I look forward to cooperation. Just send it to my email.

In the video tutorial of PCA 1.7, there is a property for the style called "linkedscene".

I am using PCA 2.0 now but I'm unable to get the "linkedscene" value in the console output.

Did something change to the output? Or how can I get the linkedscene value in the output?

Mische · February 6, 2024 at 12:19 PM

I think I just forgot about it when I was creating the output for version 2.0...

SORRY!

I will re-implement it asap

Mische · February 8, 2024 at 12:36 PM

I have just sent an updated version to all PCA2 customers.

linkedscene is now outputed again (can be deactivated in the preferences).

Best regards

The panorama of 3Dsmax uses blender’s PCA plug-in for the baking process
Information needed to prepare
1. fbx after surface reduction, about 3M
2. Rendered panorama of true north direction
3.fbx needs to include camera
process:
1.blender import fbx
2. Find panoramic views of key locations
3. Rename the list camera
4. Use the pca plug-in to import the panorama and copy the previous corresponding camera coordinates
5. Carry out baking processing

We are now using this method to create 3D houses in 3dsmax. Can subsequent plug-in updates optimize this process?
In this process, the model and camera are available, and the panorama is in the same direction. The problem is how to associate them.

my 3D Transition not working i use this code,

Code

<action name="tour3d_loadscene" scope="local" args="scenename">
        loadscene(get(scenename), null, MERGE|KEEPVIEW|KEEPMOVING, BLEND(2.0));
        if (global.customtransition != 'SKIP', if(global.customtransition !== null, global.customtransition(); ,
        tween(view.tx|view.ty|view.tz, calc(image.ox + '|' + image.oy + '|' + image.oz), 5.0, easeinoutsine); ); );
        delete(global.customtransition); delete(global.customtransitiontime);
  </action>

We used PCA2.0.1 to make the project. It's a really great piece of software. Thanks to the author!

Looking forward to combining with 3dsmax fbx and Panoramas to realize baking in blender using rendered panoramas;

PCA+2.1

New:

Auto PanoCAM naming leave the input field empty to take the name of the panorama-image
JSON output output every krp-value as valid JSON structured data
- depth.JSON
- hotspot.JSON
- cameraview.JSON
- polyhotspot.JSON
- panorender.JSON
Protect Face Map exclude areas from the material operations to keep the current material (Blender3.6 only)
Fixes:
- It was not possible to print multiple cam-values at once
- It was not possible to print comments (blender obj.name) for hotspots and cameras
- In rare cases, errors could have occurred during the internal renaming of the PCA names (_CAM, _HANDLE, ..)
- sometimes wrong 'non conform scaling' warning for hotspots
- blender2krpano did not work with CYCLES in Blender.4.

Tutorials (YouTube):

The update is free of charge! All PCA+2.0 customers should have already received an email.

Best regards, Mische

..Stay tuned for my upcoming application, the XAdder!
coming very soon...

Kabkee · July 30, 2024 at 11:43 AM

Hi,

Thank you for the new update, it’s much appreciated. The new ‘Face Map’ feature seems quite useful.

Regarding the JSON files, I wonder if they could replace the print output from the Blender console. It’s a bit inconvenient to run Blender using the terminal on macOS just to use the console. If the JSON output could replace the console prints, it would be great for me.

Could you explain how to use the JSON output and when it would be most useful?

Thank you.
