PanoCam importer (PCi)

Blender Addon

PCi is a Blender Addon for generating PCA-PanoCams from JSON data.

The values for position and rotation can be used to perform simple mathematical operations and it is possible to change the order. This should make it possible to create PanoCams with values from other programs.

The PanoCams can then be used with the PanoCamAdder to output the values for krpano, for example.

PCi JSON

The JSON must have the following entries:

• pano = string (imagefile name)
• location = [number, number, number]
• rotation= [number, number, number]

PCi-JSON converter

If you have image files, position and rotation data in CSV or JSON format, you can convert them into the required format using the online PCi-JSON converter.

How it works

• Load in your 3D-model
• Load JSON: Click the Load JSON button to load a PCi JSON file. The buttons for generating the PanoCams appear as soon as valid data has been loaded.
• Degree/Radiant: In the rotation field, select whether the values are in degrees or radians.
• Optional:
  • Change the order of the axes.
  • Calculate with the values.
• Create PanoCam(s): You can generate individual panoramas - or all at once. If the model is selected, the corresponding Pano_Material is assigned to the model. This allows you to quickly see whether the position and rotation values are correct. If a PanoCam already exists, only the position and rotation are updated for it.
