48 pics in that? I'd hav though 10-15 pics would have done it.

Nice pic though!

Think it'd work better with a less defined feature through the middle.

The road looks weird, think it'd look miles better with night time shots of a skyline

Tripod and a Dslr.

Now you see aPk, I'm pretty bored of doing night time photography. So I've been playing around with Hdr photography, panoramics etc.

I will be doing more of these.

Has anyone else done any?

Very interesting to me as I use HDR panoramas/spherical environments to render my scenes with. I've tried using yours but due to it only being a small jpeg the results aren't amazing, potential's there though!

some really cool photos here.

i thought i'd give it a shot but its more difficult than i first thought lol for example i've taken about 10 photos and i tried to put them all together, they overlap but dont 'stitch' together very well ? what do i do to get everytrhing to meet up like all yours above?

edit: i used my fuji s6500 and a tripod btw

It's not quite right as it doesnt contain enough data, like right above and below the camera, hence why you can see the reflections in the sphere converging to a point at the top and bottom.

ahh i get you. It's not the material, it's the environment.

The material in that scene is just a pure chrome, reflecting the picture which I've applied as an infinite spherical environment.

You should, it's great.



Thats done with Max, you use an HDRI environment set to display as a spherical map, then tune your materials to give the right reflectivity. The thing with HDR is that the render takes the lighting information from the embedded data, so you get much more realistic results.

Sorry to hijack Hoddo
