360° Panoramic video animation

Hi ladies and gentlemen,
This is a quick little test I made today using Blender to make a 3D panoramic video on Youtube.
Hope you like it:)

It looks great, this is my first time to watch the 360 degree video on Youtube. Looking forward to the full video : )

BTW, does such 360 degree video will need longer rendering time than the general 3d video? Thanks.

how are you doing it? you seem to have mad distortion at the poles and a visible seam line on the 180 degrees. any reason why you are not using the inbuilt panoramic camera inside of blender? this will give you a perfect 360 image.

BTW, does such 360 degree video will need longer rendering time than the general 3d video? Thanks.

Depends, most 360 work is done at 4k, which will take 4 times as long as 1080p. if you go for spherical stereo rendering (3d 360) that will take 8 times as long as a mono 1080p video.

Yeah if thats inside an unwrapped sphere you have to account for the tris at the poles. I really wish BI or OpenGL viewport had equirectangular render like Cycles :frowning:
