hi!

will it be availible for mac too?

Alexandre/Lionel: Is it possible to make some documentation/tutorial on the Gigatiler ?

John

Can Gigatiler create the HDview XML manifest file?

I had this problem also.  Don't name the input image the same as the output folder, or the output folder the same as the folder you are working in (I forget which cured the problem for me.)

That's what I remember doing also.  Might have something to do with gigatiller trying to open a new directory of the same name as the working directory.

Hi Alexandre,

If you have a folder "C:\pano1" and name the output folder "pano1" (so it is "C:\pano1\pano1", I think the issue is that all the files in C:\pano1 get deleted including the entire directory structure C:\pano1\pano1, when only those files and directories under C:\pano1\pano1 should be deleted. 

I.e. I think gigatiler is deleting the contents of the wrong (parent) directory.

HDView requires panos be broken up into rows and columns, and then sets of rows and columns for different resolutions.  (I think)

HDView requires a directory structure:

Your_Name
      l_0
            c_0
                  tile_0.wdp
      l_1
            c_0
                  tile_0.wdp
                  tile_1.wdp                                 
            c_1
                  tile_0.wdp
                  tile_1.wdp   
            c_2
                  tile_0.wdp
                  tile_1.wdp   

and so on up to (in the example I am using)
      l_5
           c_39
                  tile_19.wdp



This is all quite transparent to us, just use the demo .xml file they give you and modify it--HDview replaces the l, c and r with the values in the directory structure.

If your images are numbered starting at 0, then use lowercase letters for l, c and r.  If your images (and directories) are numbered starting with 1, then use upper case L, C and R in the xml, like this:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <root>
  <imageset url="YOUR_GIGATILER_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_NAME_HERE/l_{l}/c_{c}/tile_{r}.wdp" levels="6" width="10237" height="5118" projection="spherical" thetaMin="0" thetaMax="360" phiMin="0" phiMax="180" rollPitchYaw="0 0 0" maxZoom="2" />
  </root

HDview replaces the {l} {c} and {r} with numbers by itself, you don't put numbers there.
Note that you _do_ have to change the number of levels, width, and height, and may change the projection and all the stuff after that.

Hi,

I also lost my first file that I tried... now I know why and I won't do that again

My next problem is that some files i've converted have turned out like this:
www.vrlog.net/temp/gigapixel/fantova70-fullsize
www.vrlog.net/temp/gigapixel/my-dirty-kitchen

these were both 16 bit psb - I am guessing that this is the problem....?



thanks,
Jeffrey

this was not on mac - I was using windows xp x64  and ptgui, and gigatiler to create the tiles.....

previous gigapixels, e.g. this one
http://www.vrlog.net/temp/gigapixel/fan … antova.htm
converted ok - but as i said, they were 8 bit.....

is ther any release date available for next release?

Thanks

To go over the psb limit of 300.000 pixels, Autopano offer to use .kro format.
Can we think that GigaTiler can accept this .kro format one day ?
Thanks.

just to say that having just used this, and not reading this folder first means that this piece of software has deleted a whole load of my files. Because i was just trying it out i put the destination and source in the same folder, which also had a bunch of children which are now nowhere to be seen, that included a bunch of stuff i'd been working on today. I expect this will be sorted in the next version. But you acknowledged you should put a warning in your post dated 2007, at the very least you could put something in the wiki/documentation page about this massive feature/bug
