==== Panoramas with Hugin ==== | |||
There is a (WiP) nasal script in [https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?t=36297 this forum thread] that takes a user configurable grid of overlapping screenshots. The script is based on the spherical panorama script. To take a line of screenshots means setting grid size to 1 by n. | |||
A lot of lower FoV and closely overlapping screenshots can eliminate perspective distortion. FG is paused preventing cloud, tree and sun movement. The combination allows creating higher quality panoramas which aren't often practical with a physical camera. | |||
Cylindrical and similar panoramas don't need a special viewer, unlike spherical panoramas. Hugin is pretty much automated and following a simple series of clicks will produce good results. The forum thread has details on using Hugin. | |||
