Wow Valentin, these are truly incredible photos! I suspect you have already explained your method here, so I'll do a search to learn more.

hi Tim
thank you for the interest and encouraging words

the secret is to use the software to stitch different projections
for this series I used cylindrical (but not a vertical one, I used an inclined to obtain some "wings" effect, little planet, tunnell and a circular crop out of a common rectilinear = 90x90 degree image)
I have used the pano2vr, but ptgui or hugin surely do the same.

Valentin,

What's so valuable about these images is that they are very sharp, well detailed and do not get one sea-sick as in a moving spherical Pano where a slight shift of the mouse get's one falling over or doing a summersault. You still views are so clean and allow one to look at the small world you prepare for us in a novel way.

Here, the trench under the path of the train is made central to one's view of things. It's now the reference point, in a way, the anchoring of our reality, saying we must look at everything else by how different it is to the concrete cutout in the ground over which the train will travel.

Excellent job!

Thanks for the new experience!

Asher

Interesting perspective. Gives your brain a little twirl moving around the photo.
