I would like to know if anyone else has experience this aggravating problem in Bryce 4 QTVR panorama renders. I rendered a panorma which took 9 hours and was greatly disappointed in the results. The movie was fuzzy and zooms looked even worse. I have since done other renders according to several tutorials I've found and none of them give me a QTVR panorama with decent resolution. One person recommended Ulead 360 - a programme that stitches together a series of rendered images. This works, but only with scenes that have "bumpy" textures. If the texture is smooth, I get jaggy edges. Your thoughts, solutions, opinions?

Stitching & Panoramas are well-covered by Helmut Dersch with his freeware PanoTools (Java,Windose,Mac) at: http://www.fh-furtwangen.de/~dersch/ There are many, many tuts & links to various aspects of imageing & conversions from one focal length to another, rectiliniar to perspective, distortion correcrtions etc. It is a lot of stuff to read through & there is a learning curve to it but well worthwhile. Apple also has some utilities for makeing panos (Windows & Mac) at: http://developer.apple.com/quicktime/quicktimeintro/tools/ Another possibility is that your initial image is rendered too large and resizing down could be a problem. Try to render at the same size the Pano is to be when done.
