How to hide the monopod?

by franmas1 » Mon Oct 28, 2013 8:17 pm

How to hide the monopod? How to hide an area of the floor?

1) Some people put their logos in 360 videos on the floor, in order to hide the monopod. How do I do that?

2) Other people put a stop or break so you can't move down with the mouse and see the floor (where there is a monopod or myself). How do I do that?

use the CROP option under the hotspot editor to raise the lower area to cover the nadir - http://www.autopano.net/wiki-en/action/ ... ditor#Crop

Very simple: Create your equirect. image. Drag it onto KRPano´s "convert sphere to cube": it converts it to 6 cube-faces. Retouch your pole in the down-face.
Drag the 6 faces to "convert cube to sphere" and it makes them an equirectangular image again - which doesn´t contain your pole or your feet any more.

Takes about 10min using Photoshop.
The smaller you shoot a Nadir the better. Depending on your lens - you didn´t mention your setup - i suggest -10° or -12°.

best, Klaus

You can patch the nadir directly with Autopano Video and Autopano.
Take a look at this documentation : http://www.autopano.net/wiki-en/action/ ... r_patching

thank you all!!

I saw the tutorial Autopano Video Nadir patching.
I could put the logo on your site (the hole in my car roof), but it does not look good. The logo shows through and I see the tripod too. How can I do to put the logo on top of other layers?

saludos!!

To put the logo on the top, just re-order the layers in autopano ( drag'n'drop to top )

Reordering the layers does not keep the nadir patch from being blended into the 360x180 pano. I have contacted Kolor about this issue and have been given very underwhelming assistance. I am a little disappointed that software at this price point does not include a simple nadir patch or support.

Placing it in a new layer and renaming that group/layer does not work either as outlined in the tutorial for video panos above. This is for a photo pano, not video.

Welcome to the forum...

If you plan to display this pano in a virtual tour and use Panotour or Panotour Pro to create the virtual tour the it's simple to add the nadir patch in those programs.

Thank you mediavets, but I will be using different tour software so I will be unable to use Pantour.
