Although it is a Japanese article, I wrote an article about creating HDRI for VFX using THETA Z1. It also introduces the method of creating only with free software. It is possible to download all sample data including darktable template, Hugin template data, and RAW. http://site.cgslab.info/archi…

Hi, can anyone share workflow for creating vfx HDRI using Theta X? Authydra doesnt seem compatible with it ( not visible in theta X plugin store)

This thread has some additional information. [image] THETA X Multi-Bracketing Hi Everybody, I was testing the new Theta X for VFX but is limited to set only 13 sets. (I don’t won’t use plugs or apps cause missing ev for what we need also not supported yet) …

The THETA X is not suitable for creating high-quality HDRIs because it cannot shoot RAW. The Z1 is positioned above the X. Therefore, our Burst-IBL-Shooter plugin will not support the THETA X.

Great post :wink: I share with you some observations that I made during my tests… What I like about the X: the speed the screen the resolution removable batteries What I don’t like: jpeg only (no RAW) the images produced have a lot of noise (this is particularly visible in real size) presence…

First of all, since there seems to be a discrepancy between our definition and yours, Our definition of ”High quality” is that the background plate taken by the cinema camera and the CG rendered by HDRI match. This includes matching light source colors, expos…

Definitely JPEGs and especially stitched JPEGs are adding a lot of troubles. But i think it possible reach same results with Theta X as Z1. I love Logoscope work and his knowledge in colors. But sensor spectral response is not a panacea and not always work as planned. (Plus required too expensive …
