Kurt M 5 Posted September 13 Greetings. I am having issues with manipulating panorama background images. When I import a background created with a Samsung gear 360 camera it comes in ok ( see attached) but when I want to rotate it to be in the correct ordination, the background turns all yellow ? What am I doing wrong ? Also the +/- rotation function in the background panorama dialog box is not very smooth at all (when it doesn't turn all yellow). Values of rotation inputted make it jump around not very accurately. Is there a trick to it ? Quote Share this post Link to post
Kurt M 5 Posted September 13 FYI this happens in 2019. I exported to 2018 and the panorama adjusts fine 😞 Quote Share this post Link to post
Luis M Ruiz 198 Posted September 21 v2019 and v2020 panoramas got more demanding. If it was not made with the Maxon requirements then these turn yellow. Until further notice, do not use the ones that give you that ugly result. I have a few that I can share from my personal collection. https://www.dropbox.com/s/txgd6n0wturbwzm/Backgrounds %26 HDRI collection.vwx?dl=0 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Andy Broomell 691 Posted October 3 @Luis M Ruiz Can we please get more details on this? I need to be able to make custom RW backgrounds of locations that we've photographed. It used to be easy, now I keep getting yellow backgrounds... Urgh. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Kurt M 5 Posted October 3 (edited) I called tech support. I was using jpeg files, they said thats the problem , use png files. So that works ! I converted my jpeg files to png files in Preview. Edited October 3 by Kurt M 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Andy Broomell 691 Posted October 3 I also learned today that in Photoshop you can set a file to "Image<Mode<32 bits/Channel" - then when you go to Save As, you can now choose "Radiance" which will save out a .hdr file. Obviously it's not saving multiple exposure information like a true HDR, but it got me closer and it's now working in Vectorworks 👍 Quote Share this post Link to post
