DrStef Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Hi All, I don't know if this idea has crossed anyones mind yet or has been pitched before, but I was wondering now withconsumer grade 360 VR around the corner, has anyone or is anyone planning to make a mod forSkyrim where you can change the output fov of the camera to display a spheremap or equirectangular output? Examples: :cool: Just to give you an idea of how this would look like. Here I am in Minecraft, :laugh:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJrDsMQdZPQ(Watch this in Chrome, pause and move mouse over the image to look around)and I made a 7 second (press pause) video using a mod called Replayand applied the youtube 360 metadata to it.If you would view this in any other browser or outside of youtube the image would look something like this:https://c1.staticflickr.com/7/6061/6053313212_1030f2bbc9_b.jpgWhat such a mod would be able to do for you and Skyrim is enable you torecord 360 degree videos which you can then edit afterwards andupload to your favourite site that supports 360 VR. Wideangle And Panoramic: :geek: Right now I remember you can set your fov to a max of 170 via the console, but it is far from perfect and I do believe it's just wide angle 170.What the output needs to be is a full 360 view of your surroundings from 1 or a plethora of cameras a la Google Maps.Example of equirectangular grid: http://a.fsdn.com/con/app/proj/ncmerge/screenshots/tiles_regrid.pngThe best thing is not having to stitch the damn thing afterwards. Skyrim 360 Panoramic Timelapse: :ohmy: Here is an example of someone who has gone through great lengths and time tocapture stills and stitch them all together 1 by one in an image sequencejust to be able to do what I am getting at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCj1HYSHO_g Minecraft has a mod that lets you render out a recorded replay of your surroundings,maybe that is the way to go I am not sure, but the best thing would be if somehowvia the enb or mod you could force a cameraview via the console which looks like the exampleabove which you can then record with bandicam or fraps, no stitching required etc,you just edit your capture to scale it to the right aspect ratio to upload and BAM! Awesome videos! Anyway, please let me know your thoughts. :blush: Thanks Much! DrStef :ninja: Edited October 10, 2015 by DrStef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
