VT Studio (inc. Stitcher 5.5 Unlimited + VTour 1.0) Win

Create and produce, VTour 1.0 + Stitcher 5.5 Unlimited

VTour is an 'Environment Creator', which means that the scene to create is around you. With VTour, you start from a single image or single panorama. 2D to 3D calibration is performed using a perspective feature (X, Y, Z coordinates) to be located in the input picture. Modeling and Texturing are based on the same simple and intuitive tool set than the one used in ImageModeler. Outputs can be of different forms: either a rendered 3D animation (video), interactive 3D or Google Earth. Stitcher is a photo stitching and image stitching software for the creation of panoramas and 360° virtual tours.

Product Features

Stitcher Unlimited: For professional panorama creators

• Looking to produce multiple panoramas of the highest quality and with maximum productivity
• Using fish-eye lenses to create full spheres from a limited numbers of pictures
• Looking to convert panoramas for various purposes
• Looking to create complete virtual tours with hot spots
• Looking to extend their publishing capability and services with Java-based and Shockwave-based viewers, in addition to QuickTime® VR

VTour Features: Input

• Still Image supported: Image files of any size in plenty of formats: (JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PSD...).
• Panoramas supported: - Full sphere images (360x180 degrees)

- Full cylindrical images (360 degrees)
- Cubical images: 6 square images (front, right, back, left, up, down)
- Spherical, Cylindrical, cubical Quicktime VR Movies

VTour Features: Calibration

• Calibration tool: Placement of a coordinate system and perspective features, to retrieve: - The camera parameters that shot the image/panorama

- The 3D space of the scene

• Scene scaling: the size of the X-axis can be edited to get the final scene at the right scale.
• Still image case: focal length and distortion can be edited for better accuracy.

VTour Features: Modelling

• Creation tools: - Creation of polygonal primitives: plane, cube, sphere, cylinder... etc

- Creation of surfaces: create face tool
- Import of objects (import of OBJ or ImageModeler files)

• Intuitive snapping with: world axes (X,Y,Z) and elements (vertices, edges, surfaces).
• Edition tools: - Extrude/Split/Bevel tools to modify geometry of objects

- Subdivide/Triangulate objects
- Move, rotate, scale objects
- Move, rotate, scale sub- objects (vertices, edges, faces)

VTour Features: Texturing & Colors

• Creation tools: - Automatic texturing of objects or polygons through pixel extraction from original images

- Assigning images (from disk) or colors onto objects
- Capture pattern tool to grab texture and apply it with repetition on larger surfaces.

• Edition tools: - UV editor to change the mapping of a texture onto a surface

- Possibility to copy a color or a texture previously extracted to another object or polygon
- Possibility to re-touch textures with a PHOTOSHOP type editor
- Possibility to re-size textures in order to optimize the weight of the resulting file

VTour Features: Interactive Export

• Export for SPI-V3D Shockwave Viewer for an interactive 3D visit of the scene
• Realviz XML file (supported by StoryViz et ImageModeler)
• Export to Autodesk/Alias Maya
• Export to Collada (supported by Google Earth1.4)

VTour Features: Animation

• Rendering in .avi or .mov formats
  
• Camera path tool : The path is created from user placed camera "keys" (position, orientation and focal length) and interpolated smoothly
