You should already have downloaded Autostitch from the site shown here.
In the end you should have between 50-100 or so screen shots.
Basically you want to capture every object you can see in at least 2 of your screen shots. One at the top and a couple in between front and top, the same with bottom and take a few up and to the right and left shots. Take 1 shot in front, a few off to each side and all around to the back. Here you will pick you perfect spot and stand to take pictures in every direction possible. 1- Create initial source images (screen shots)įirst you will need to go inside of your game and go to the cell or worldspace that you want to have the portal lead to. Now that you understand the concept, now for how to actually implement it. A spherical phot0 (basically a fish eye lens that could capture 360 degrees of imagery in 1 shot) is processed into a flat panorama, resulting in a warped image which then is processed into 6 separate warped images, that when wrapped around the outside of the cube, facing inward, results in a cohesive image where the warpage actually plays to the eye because of perspective, and gives the effect of being a good image that is 3D
The way this is achieved is basically with a visual trick. What you would see is a texture that is rendered across the front, sides, left, right, top, bottom, and back of the cube (though the back you would never see since you are looking through a hole in it). So Imagine that you are standing at the green portal and looking inside. Capability of saving images as DDS files such as the Nvidia Photoshop DDS pluginįist thing to understand is that you are not actually looking into a rendered 3D space, but instead looking at a texture that emulates a spherical panorama rendered on the inside of a Cube.Panorama Converter – Free online panorama to cube map converter.AutoStitch – free program from combining a number of photos into a single panorama.Ever wonder how the Snow Elf Wayshrine Chantry portals manage to project a magic looking portal that renders the worldspace within? These portals are really a fantastic thing and can be created with custom images to project your desired destination, but like the journey of the initiate to the shrine of Auriel, this road is a long one, but I’m here to help guide you.
