VR 360 Image Render

[Tom Klaber]

How can I export a 360 VR image. This would allow me to render a room and put the client in the room via Google Cardboard or Oculus.

You can export quicktime VR panos but I can not seem to get just the simple flattened version of that.

Any ideas?

I think you need software to open the file as a flat image. Maybe photoshop or maybe quicktime authoring software?

Thanks.

VW needs to get on this. If I could generate something like the attached, straight out of VW - that would be amazing. I would slap oculus on all my clients.

I think if you import your file into Unity3d you can get this although when I was exporting to Unity before VR there was always a problem with having the normals facing the correct way.

The best part, and something a lot of people might have missed, is that you dont even need an expensive Oculus-like headset for basic VR. Much of it can be done with a smartphone and a Google Cardboard kit:

Any development we do for VR would benefit both Oculus/Vive owners as well as anyone with a smartphone and a couple bucks for a Cardboard unit. It's something we are absolutely looking into and something I absolutely can't give details about yet. But be excited.

I will take a look at Unity. There has been a lot of talk about Unity recently.

The rendering team is able to do it out of V-Ray - so I can theoretically send files over there - but I want to bypass them.
