Even adjusting the exposure down, there is an overexposed quality, and an overall grainy quality. Lots and lots of photos turned into HDRi and tested in Keyshot. But spent that entire week trying to determine why the image quality was undesirable no matter what the ambient lighting happened to be. I loved the design, the weight, quick charging, and how it interacted with an iPhone. Mine in particular had a focus issue, (a problem noted in the Ricoh forum) but there is a common issue of image noise found in all Theta S cameras. I was heartbroken that it just didn't have the crisp quality I was looking for. Current results seem to indicate taking four shots instead of three seems to create larger more detailed HDRi files.ĭoes anyone have personal experience they can share on the creation of HDRi files?įor context, purchased the Theta S last month, in less than a week I returned it. (And yet very few reviews on this product.)Įxperimented with a demo version of PTGui and sample images from different lenses. There are sunex lenses and mounts that offer 185 degree fisheye lenses that can get full coverage in 3 shots. Is a $150 (brand I've never heard of) bad and a $1200 Canon lens good? Noticed fisheye lenses that range from 165 to 185 degrees. In my case I own a canon DSLR and I'm perplexed as to the differences between fisheye lenses. Otherwise photography sites seem to lean towards using the most expensive gear possible when taking spherical panoramas. And they were serviceable but really noisy. Created multiple exposures, made a slew of HDR files and imported to Keyshot. Objects in frame need to be 20 feet away or more to avoid parallax. Despite using a tripod and a steady hand it isn't consistent when it comes to stitching 44 photos together into one image. (If there is something great that I haven't listed please let me know.) Hoped there would be a simple push button solution within this price range. With an existing tripod and DSLR the cost can range from approximately $1000-2000 USD. Gathered the best solution for me happens to be a DSLR + fisheye lens + nodal tripod mount on a tripod + stitching software. Posting to double check my research with the rest of the Keyshot user base and see if anyone can offer suggestions.įirst off I'm doing this as a hobbyist, not making a profit off of anything. I like the HDRi files that came with Keyshot and I'd like to make my own.
