Very cool. Running crappy here in the office so can't wait to see what it's like at home.

must learn how to create those kind of pics - they're only good online - no point in printing them...but they look amazing.

I'm guessing its prob about 100-200 pics...maybe more.

I assume so. I thought maybe it was done with a gigapan. If you look at the guy on the left, his arm is missing and it looks like he had a remote release of some sort

I really do want to learn how to do them

That's really good, however he does it, and the rest of the site has a great feel to it as well!

These are done with quicktime panoramas. Very cool software but been around for a while.

step 1Get what you need.
Here's a list of things you'll need Hardware: 1) A Digital Camera. I used a Canon EOS20D Digital SLR. 2) A memory card. Prefferably a big one; you'll be taking alot of pictures. 3) A Tripod. Not necessarilly a panoramic tripod. I just used your normal garden-variety tripod. 4) A Windows computer. Possibly the one you're reading this on…
step 2Prepare for Picture-taking
For your VR, you'll probably want to select a nice, outdoor aread, with lots of bright sunlight, and open spaces around you. An area fairly devoid of people or similar moving things is also a good idea. If a person is in a spot in one picture, but gone in another photo of the same location, it can create a "ghosting" effect, when you stitch the Panorama together. No…

step 3Take pictures!
Ok, in order to get all the information for your panorama, you're going to need to take a picture of every single point you can see from the camera's point of view. There's an easy way to do this: through a series of stacks of vertical pictures. How this works is you start with the camera pointing straight down, and you take a picture, then tilt it up so that there's…

step 4AutoStitch
Load all the photos onto your computer. Next, open up Autostitch. You may have read my previous instructable , about making panoramas. After I wrote that instructable out, someone posted a comment, linking to a program that does it all automatically, Autostitch. So, that's what we'll be using in this tutorial, instead of autopano-sift and Hugin. Autostitch is remar…

step 5GIMPing (Optional)
Open up your newly created pano.jpg, and look at the file dimmensions. The width should be exactly twice the height. (EXACTLY!) If it's not, you can use the GIMP to fix it. As well as some other problems that might arize. I wont go into too much detail, for the GIMP stuff, but I'll give you some general info, on problems. If the image is less than half as tall as …

step 6PanoCube
Move (or copy) the pano.jpg you have to the folder that PanoCube is in, also, make sure you moved the PanoTools things to that folder. And, just a reminder, that folder should be on the path "C:\PanoCube" or something similar. PanoCube is very finicky, and doesn't like spaces in file-paths. Grab PTStitcher.exe, and drag it into PanoCube.exe, so PanoCube will know whe…
