Is VR panorama shooting easy to do? What are the requirements for shooting VR panoramas

Steps to make a VR panorama for filming:

1. Select equipment and shoot**:

At present, in addition to the map and other large platforms that use panoramic cameras to shoot VR panoramas, most individuals or practitioners use SLR cameras + wide-angle lenses or fisheye lenses to shoot VR panoramas for enterprises that need them. The VR panorama is spliced together by multiple **, so there must be a part of overlap at all angles when taking pictures, so as to ensure better operation when splicing.

After finding a fixed spot when shooting, be sure to check the details such as the camera and gimbal scale when placing the tripod and gimbal, and then choose the number of shots for different focal length lenses.

2. Splicing and beautifying**:

All scenes can be exported after shooting**, and can be stitched directly in batches using the software, or manually processed for each scene and each scene individually.

At present, most of the software on the market is a Chinese cracked version,If you want to learn, choose one of them,Then take a look at the tutorial to practice familiarity,After splicing**The general requirement is 2:1 ratio, the minimum resolution4000*2000**,At this time, you can use ps to beautify the splicing after the completion of the splicing,Modify the flaws。

3. Select the VR panorama processing software platform

In the second step, after splicing and beautifying, the ** is not a real VR panorama, and it needs to be uploaded to a professional VR panorama processing software or platform to see the effect. In addition to providing smooth storage and sharing, the VR cloud panorama production platform also provides the most basic class production functions of VR panoramas, and has special requirements for VR panoramas, such as inserting viewing angles, hotspots, sand tables, masks, **, **, ** and other functions in the panorama, Jiushang VR cloud platform also provides these functions, which are incomparable to general free software.

After doing these three, basically a complete VR panorama will come out, and after uploading to the Jiushang VR cloud platform, you can also share the VR panorama with friends for friends to enjoy, and for professional practitioners, you only need to share the link to the customer.

These three steps, after the first part learns the basic operation, it is mainly practice, but VR panoramic shooting is different from the shooting of art photos, the requirements are not very high, the second step ** processing and splicing, although some software has not been heard of before, but its practical functions are few, as long as you follow the tutorial, you can operate it a few times, the third step is simpler, the operation of Jiushang VR meta panorama production software is very simple, and it will be explored a few times.

I think that when I first came into contact with VR, I saw the equipment used to shoot panoramas, opened the manuals of these equipment, and talked about the whole text in great detail from understanding the equipment to shooting panoramas, but when I didn't get the physical equipment in my hand, I just looked at these things. You won't know how easy it is to shoot until you get your equipment, and of course that's limited to using a dedicated panoramic camera.

Here I will introduce two types of panorama shooting methods, friends with conditions can try it!

The first is the panoramic camera, and there are two types that I am currently using. One is theta, the device is small in size, easy to carry, divided into two lenses before and after, and comes with a mobile phone APP, which can be connected to the mobile phone to operate on the mobile phone. After the connection is successful, adjust the ** degree appropriately according to the situation of the shooting site to make the imaging more beautiful.

After debugging, you can stand in a place where the shooting equipment cannot be seen and shoot with one click. Shooting is simple, but you need to plan where you want to shoot in advance. The second is insta360pro, this machine is divided into several models, there are 6, 8, 12 and other lenses, its operation is similar to theta, it is also a mobile phone APP operation control, simple and easy to operate, that is, the equipment is a little larger, and it is not very convenient to carry.

<> the second is SLR + PTZ shooting with better imaging effect. Shooting with a DSLR is relatively complicated.

1) First of all, you need to have a DSLR and a fisheye lens.

2) You need to be able to adjust the focal length and ** degree, and when adjusting the focal length, you should ensure that the focus point of each scene is at the farthest point.

3) Vertical shooting, according to the tripod scale, you need to shoot one shot** every 60°, you need to shoot 6 shots.

4) The lens is modulated upwards perpendicular to the ground, one shot at 0° and one at 90°, and one more shot at the ground, for a total of three shots, for a total of nine shots.

5) After shooting, you still need to shoot and composit, which is a bit more complicated, but the quality is higher than the first two types.

As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and having a good set of shooting equipment is very important for VR panoramic shooting. VR panoramic shooting can be divided into aerial photography and ground shooting, and we will start with the ground shooting equipment in this article.

In fact, when it comes to VR panoramic shooting, there have been applications of panoramic shooting for a long time, such as panoramic viewing, etc., the technology for panoramic shooting is also relatively perfect, and the optionality of equipment is also larger.

VR panoramic photography has high requirements for shooting equipment because of the particularity of the shooting angle. There are three main points:

1.The angle of a single shot should be as large as possible. Panorama, as the name suggests, requires an angle of 180 degrees to 360 degrees, while the 135 camera's 50mm standard lens has an angle of view of about 45 degrees, which is about the same as the range of scenery seen by one eye, and the horizontal direction is only about 45 degrees, and the vertical direction is even less.

With such a lens, it is conceivable that the task of shooting and post-production flattening will be extremely difficult.

2.The ** should be the same in all directions. If the ** is different in all directions, it will produce a noticeable difference in brightness in the panorama, especially at the junction of the **.

3.The camera must rotate around the optical midpoint of the camera during shooting, which is commonly known as the node, otherwise it will not be able to be accurately stitched together due to different angles of view.

In general, the choice of equipment plays a crucial role in the quality of the image and the post-processing, based on the previously mentioned requirements, so the camera we are going to use here must have a manual function, be able to control**, and be able to use a wide-angle lens. Today, most DSLRs on the market are up to the task.

How to shoot panoramic photography.

1.Preparation of equipment (general equipment).

A can be changed to a digital camera.

b Equivalent 15 mm fisheye lens.

If it is a Sony Shisheng Xing 6000 mirrorless camera, it is a 10mm fisheye lens, that is, a double) c panoramic cloud smile platform (the more standard panoramic head is a ninja gimbal) d tripod. The e-computer is equipped with splicing software PTGUI and Photoshop2Filming process.

fAttach the camera, fisheye lens, and panoramic head on a tripod. Then adjust the position of the lens node on the tripod (don't say you don't know what a lens node is).

G Manual**, manual focusing, manual determination of a white balance, sensitivity ISO cannot be used automatic.

h 15 mm equivalent fisheye lens, 6 shots at 60° intervals on a tripod. Go back to the original point of shooting, all positions do not move, just rotate the lens up to shoot the sky, and then rotate the lens down to shoot the ground. Go back to the original shooting point, move the tripod backwards, and take 1 shot with 45° alignment with the center point of the original tripod.

So we have a set of 9 clips.

3.Material splicing.

Drag these materials into the splicing software ptgui for splicing, hey, it's so tiring to type with the thumb of the mobile phone!

Stitching in PTGUI is the focus of panoramic shooting, please log in to the quad to learn it.

Panorama photography is very laborious, and it is quite difficult to make money by pointing to this. Same as shooting a single shot**, if you want to take pictures to make money, you still need to have the ability to make business contacts.

Consumption can change habits, now many traditional industries are through the VR panoramic channel to obtain customers, the original did not pay attention to the Internet digital marketing enterprises have also begun to change to do online channels, especially catering, hotels and other industries, have begun to look for VR panoramic shooting to expand customer drainage. So do you really understand the advantages of VR panoramic shooting? Let's take a look at it from these perspectives.

In the process of VR panoramic shooting, there will be more opportunities to use DSLR and fisheye lenses, because the image rate of SLR will be more suitable for commercial use. We carry out multi-directional shooting according to a certain center, shoot with a certain overlap, and then stitch the shooting ** into a detailed panorama, which is the VR panoramic shooting that will be used in many **propaganda.

Traditional print propaganda is generally based on ** and text introduction, but he can't let us have a sense of participation, what things have a sense of participation in order to have a sense of familiarity with this thing, so the traditional way of publicity can not allow users and products to integrate. However, the three-dimensional scene shot by VR panorama, horizontal 360-degree panorama combined with vertical 180-degree panorama, with a 720-degree perspective to real three-dimensional products, so that users have a sense of personal experience, and naturally have a certain degree of identification with the product.

The cost of VR panoramic shooting is relatively low, suitable for various forms of communication, and the information contained in it is also relatively diversified, not limited by the screen size. And consumers want a real and detailed product, if the information is distorted and the communication is not accurate enough, then it will not give consumers confidence, and they will naturally not choose your product.

The all-round live shooting can manipulate the angle at will, which is undoubtedly very interactive and can improve the communication effect between the product and the consumer. It is conducive to communication with consumers, in fact, it can improve the quality of service to a certain extent. Therefore, many service industries like to use VR panoramic shooting, and not only that, but its scope of application also includes a lot, such as showing the environment of the university campus, so that students are more yearning for college life; Or it is to show the style of the tourist scenery, so that more tourists can understand the characteristics of the scenic spot.

Now VR panoramic shooting has entered all aspects of our lives, in many fields are his figure, in improving the user experience at the same time to bring them surprise, so VR panoramic shooting has become a more popular way to promote publicity. In the future, more merchants will realize its communication advantages, because this immersion and realism is unmatched by other technologies.
