NADIRS in Litchi

[jmorse62]

I am working on some 360 panos in Litchi. It works pretty good but I want house settings that don't require resizing for Facebook. Checking the settings there is one called NADIRS. Anyone know what that does? Anyway to eliminate the resizing step?

Nadirs are shots taken straight (or nearly straight) down and are used to complete
spherical panoramas. You can select none or up to four nadirs to be shot in addition to
the specified rows of photos.

How did you panos turn out? I'm contemplating getting litchi, and was curious about the pano capability. Thanks in advance

What are you using to stitch? I've grabbed Hugin, but unsure of the settings req'd...

I used Microsoft ICE. I found a YouTube tutorial and it worked well. The image needs to be resized with Photoshop. The pano can be viewed as a 360 when.posted to Facebook. Very happy with it.

Thanks for your reply! I ended up upgraded my old Autopano and it's pretty easy now. The stitch gets recognized by Facebook so it's a very trim workflow.
