Litchi Panoramic Sphere over Japan

[halley]

I finally had a chance to let Litchi do the panoramic shots today.

The original 50 images blend into an equirectangular image of about 170 megapixels. This projection is just for fun. In the shot are the "Japanese Alps" in central Honshu, a shinkansen bullet train speeding along the Tokaido route, the Panasonic Solar Ark, and the outskirts of Hashima and Ichinomiya cities.

A portion of the panorama:

The picture didn't some up...but what app do you use to create the sphere panoramic?

Hm, never heard of problems from that image host, maybe the image is large for your browser?

I used Hugin, a free and powerful panoramic stitcher. PTGui and Hugin share a lot of core features. Here's a little tutorial on the "Little Planet" style projection: How to create a little planet using Hugin
