Dual-fisheye Images With THETA V Plug-in

This is a great add. Thanks for sharing it.

How are you cropping and rotating the images? Are you using something like Photoshop? Or, are you using something like ImageMagick in an batch processing script?

I’m going to add this to the Plug-in Developer Guide that we’ll be using in the August 30 microconference in San Francisco. I will provide attribution to you.

I’m also trying to learn more about HDRi prior to the microconference. One thing I learned is that HDRi files are stored in one of three formats: Radiance RGBE, OpenEXR, or Floating point TIFF/PSD.


Will now stitch each individual image and then attempt to combine.

Ichi’s mobile app can stitch all 7 images with a single batch process.

Unity recommends using Specular Convolution, but it will blur the skybox.
