Please, help meee !

I want to create full-view panoramic images in LW. Obviosly, I tried the QTVR exporter in LW, but this sucks, because it doesn't create true qtvr panoramas, forcing me to make hundreds of renders from every possible angle for a freakin' single view and a single frame. This is absurd! I'm sure that QTVR technology allows some kind of cubic mapping, with the same result as SkyTracer Baker in viewport or Myst game. Look at how fast and realistic is the cubical environment created with SkyBaker, I want to do the same think in QuickTime.

For web purposes, I could use VRML. But how can I render six cubic images with a normal Lightwave camera?


Thank you !

One word: PANOCUBE.
a free little app, you need to render just 6 square images (sides of a cube), use Refgen from Eki's to get an equirectangular pic, then drag it onto the EXE and voilą, it saves out your cubic QTVR.
