Map ObjectVR to a Cube?
Is it possible to remap a 360°x90° ObjectVR to a 5-sided cube? (box with sides and top, no bottom necessary)
Re: Map ObjectVR to a Cube?
Well, I was hoping to get the image to match in the corners by stitching the multiple sides together than remapping the result to a cube. I think it would be like an inside-out PanoramaVR that is 360°x180° spherical. Does that make sense?

Re: Map ObjectVR to a Cube?
An object movie is made up from a series of distinct images (x rows times y columns), which are not stitched together. So there's no single image to remap to the cube faces.
All you can really manage is to have a cube with five (or six) different images of the object on it.

That's what I thought. But, was hoping for a new approach. Wasn't there something on the list that pointed to a site that had a multitude of re-mapping capabilities to it. Maybe Ken Turkowski or Scott Highton knows something about it.
Thanx for the reply!

I found what I was thinking of - Flexify II from Flaming Pear: http://www.flamingpear.com

Flexify is a wonderful plug-in, but it has no relevance to object movies - it's designed for panoramic images, not for what is effectively a video with a different controller.

I guess that would be the simplest way to shoot it, although if I could just match up the edges and corners of the cube on the sides and top with a warp transform in Photoshop.

You could certainly choose five of the frames from the object movie and put them on the faces of a cube, but only if you shot pictures from the right angles in the first place.
I suspect that's not what you mean, though.
