PanoCamAdder+

The PanoCamAdder is an addon for Blender.

It is helpfull to create 3D models from equirectangular panoramas.

The PanoCamAdder is also helpfull for creating models especially for KRpano 3D-depthmap panorama tours.

Features:

• Add PanoCam:
  • 360°-viewer camera setup
  • panorama material for the model
  • desaturated panorama world for the background
• Add Hotspot:
  • Hotspot placeholder with correct size and rotation.

• Add ImageHotspot:
  • Choose an image from your system. It will be added as texture on a plane with correct size and rotation.
• Easy toggeling between different 360 cameras.
• Easy toggeling between different panorama materials/worlds.
• Zoom slider for the 360 viewer.
• Quick viewport settings.
• Prepare the models for krpano with just one click.
• KRpano Values: Read out the panorama/hotspot/view positions/rotations (translated to KRpano 3D space) to create 3D-depthmap panorama tours.
• JSON output output every krp-value as valid JSON structured data.
• KRpano to Blender: Import finished 3D-depthmap models and bring them to the right location/rotation.
• Print preformed xml code for positioning panoramas and hotspots quickly in KRpano.
• Create and bake a dollhouse texture from multiple pano materials
• Create and print polygonal hotspots
• Renders panoramas of any 3D scenes and outputs the exact values for the positions.

The PanoCamAdder+ is full compatible to the free vesrion!

Means: If you start with the free version, you can finish your project with PanoCamAdder+

Update Version2.2

Output of values for light hotspots (threeJS plugin)

Works with:

• Sunlight
• Spotlight
• Pointlight

All values can be easily changed in the addon.

A note on the intensity: Blender and threeJS calculate the intensity of the light very differently. A direct conversion is not easily possible. The output values for the intensity are therefore inaccurate and may have to be adjusted manually.

Update Version2.1

• Auto PanoCAM naming leave the input field empty to take the name of the panorama-image
• JSON output output every krp-value as valid JSON structured data
  • depth.JSON
  • hotspot.JSON
  • cameraview.JSON
  • polyhotspot.JSON
  • panorender.JSON
• Protect Face Map exclude areas from the material operations to keep the current material (Blender3.6 only)

Update Version2.0

• Assigning the appropriate Pano_MAT to each Pano_CAM can now be automated, which is a big time saver and makes working very comfortable.
• Creating and baking a dollhouse texture from multiple pano materials is now possible and works with just a few mouse clicks!
• New and better KRP outputs.
• A new, simpler hotspot.
• In the PCA 2.0 are now also the two addons PolyspotPrinter and Blender2KRpano integrated.

Update Version1.7

Preparing the model(s) for krpano is much easier and faster

• create multiple 3D-depthmaps at once!
• automatically creating a depthmap-tour scenario, with all finished 3D-depthmaps well aligned

Update Version1.6

New:

• Filebrowser support (massive workflow speed up!)
• Add Image Hotspot (no additional addon needed anymore!)
• Add Hotspot (new placeholder, easier to handle and better output. Works fine with Panimator and HotspotStyler!)

Update Version1.5

New:

• KRPtoBlender Load in your finished models and move them to the correct location
• Helper materials
  • UV Checker For checking editing UV-layout
  • UVTexture For the 'dollhouse'
  • Depthmapped For finished 3D depthmap models
    

Update Version1.4

Two small improvements:

• The cam-height is now at 3D-cursor position + cam-height (user input). This is useful if you create a model with more floors or if your ground is not at '0'.
• A 'Warning' message appears if you press the 'Make Exportready' button with wrong selection.
  

Update: Version1.3

• 'Make Exportready' operator improvement: Now you can use it for imported models, too.
  

• Better image hotspot code. Correct pixel size; works with any image type.
  But attention! This needs to simple settings for the 'Import Images As Planes' addon.
  

Update: Version1.2

This is a small but important update.

• The 'Make ExportReady' operator works now correct for the horizontal axis, too.
• Some UI optimations.

Means: You can level your panoramas with Blender. But best practise is still to use well straightend panorams.

Update: Version1.1

• Bugfix: sometimes wrong values (opposite sign) for the vertical axis.
• New hotspot placeholder: The new placeholder has the same direction as other objects now. Theoretically you can use every object as hotspotplaceholder now. But I recommend to use the new 'add Hotspot object', because there is frontside, backside easier to point out!
• Dimensions: The dimensions of the objects are now translated to krpano- width and height. Means: You can add a placeholder, rotate and scale it to get a hotspot-code with corecct width- and height values!
• New hotspot codes:
  • HS raw: name; width; height; tx; ty; tz; rx; ry; rz.
  • HS rectangle: Same as 'raw' + some style to get an instant hotspot design. You can choose bgcolor and bgalpha before printing!
  • HS circle: Same as 'rectangle' + bgroundedge (half size from the shorter length).
  • HS image: Add images as hotspot (enable 'Add images as planes' first).
