Spi-V

Not many will have noticed, but there is support for alternate viewers on the photokina site.

Support for DevalVR has been there during the last days of 'kina, but due to time limitations I added SPi-V support only yesterday. I also meant to add PTViewer as an option, but at this time that has not yet been enabled due to the infamous memory limitations; PTViewer just won't load the 5000x2500 pixel equirectangulars.

Just thought I'd post this action I made to create the cube-strip for Spi'V from cube faces.

I started with Equirectangular images, or in some cases QTVR files and batch converted to cube faces with CubicConverter.

For ths action to work you will need to export using the numbered approach, vs. Front, Back etc. So you should have files that end with 1,2,3,4,5,6.

Then just Select open them all at same time in photoshop. The need to be organized with highest number windows toward the front. So "6" is the front docuemnt, and "1" is at the back. If I select the files in finder on mac and open them, this is the default odering in Photoshop CS2. I don't know if it works off of file name or save date?
