Title: Can I generate 360 panos from Vantage with Corona C4D file, and share on Cloud?
Post by: edub on 2025-06-17, 03:23:07

As I tried to describe in the subject, I wish to use Vantage link from within Corona for C4D to generate 360 panoramas for use in a virtual tour, to share with client. 
I'm having a hard time dissecting the information on the internet if this is possible, so would appreciate feedback from developers, or users in this regard. 
I also need to share the panoramas (preferably in a packaged interface), and hope that Chaos Cloud can offer this functionality, but again, am struggling to find specific info in this regard, as Cloud seems mainly focused on Cloud rendering service.  Am I misunderstanding the capabilities?

Thanks in advance!

AFAIK you can't upload from Vantage directly to Chaos Cloud. But with Chaos Cloud you can upload any images, just do it manually - go into the Cloud in your browser, and upload images from any source at all. This does mean you'd have to set up hotspots for a Virtual Tour manually though as you won't be able to take advantage of the Automatic Hotspots.

EDIT - Chaos Cloud is actually a combination of things, with Cloud Rendering just being one (small, tbh) part. The other parts are Cloud Collaboration, Virtual Tours (which could be seen as part of Collaboration really), the AI Image Enhancer, and soon something more too.

I just checked in with the other teams to confirm Vantage can't currently upload renders to Collaboration. My suggestion in that case is to post the idea on the Vantage Ideas Portal, at https://chaosvantage.ideas.aha.io/ , pointing out the use case you have in mind which is to generate 360 panos for use in Virtual Tours. Thanks!

PPPPPS, lol - looks like the idea is already on the Vantage Ideas Portal, so you can cast your vote here https://chaosvantage.ideas.aha.io/ideas/VANTAGE-I-139

Thanks Tom!  I actually was unaware that I could render the panoramas in Corona...  so that's what I'm doing now.  First time for everything, LOL.  Chaos Cloud Virtual Tour works perfectly...  Am I understanding correctly that I only need to purchase credits if I want to render on the Cloud, and that the Collaboration part (including the Virtual Tour) is free?

Correct, credits are only used for Cloud Rendering, which Corona does not support. Other than that, the Cloud features  (Collaboration, Virtual Tours, AI Image Enhancer) are free.
