When preparing the Rendered Images, you can use any desired program, so long as it supports Equirectangular image formats.
Preparation
General rules when preparing the image renders:
- Panorama format: Equirectangular
- Every part of the render that can be displayed differently ( either a different color, shape, object position, … ) should be rendered as its own separate image with transparency enabled to allow for proper layering and easier configuration.
- MAX Image Resolution: 8k ( 8192 x 4096 )
- Optimal MAX Width: 4096px (Prepare images in format to the power of 2 – for example, 4096 x 2048 pixels)
- Optimal Image size: up to 5MB / image
- Optimal Image format: .jpg, .webp
- Example of 360 panorama here
In-depth explanations below.
Example
Here is an example of what the image render should look like. It is an Equirectangular Image which enables us to display the image on a spherical shape.
The layering system for the Panorama Media is similar to the 360 View Media type. This means that we can add and layer multiple objects over each other.
When loading up the configurator, each layer will combine as defined in the Panorama Media Settings and Configuration Rules.
