Title: How do i map a 180 panorama?
Post by: shortcirkuit on 2024-09-06, 07:51:32

Hi all

i have the attached panorama (180 provided, not 360) - i feel like a newb asking but how do you map this to a cylinder or sphere ?  i need it for background/reflections as im doing some 360 panorama renders for the interior space.
any help is much appreciated.

Easiest option is to apply it to a flat plane and then use bend modifier to turn it into a cylinder.

When I said "easiest option" I should have clarified that's just the way I'd do it... it's not necessarily the easiest or best :)
