New Feature Highlights
Stitcher Unlimited 2009 introduces powerful new creative tools
and functionality:
- Automatic "stitching" engine:
With Autodesk
Stitcher Unlimited 2009, users can create partial or full spherical
panoramas in just a few clicks. All the steps can be automated: stitching,
alignment and colour correction.
Double shot: Users can stitch images taken
with a two-shot fisheye lens; an effective way to create fully spherical
virtual tours with only two pictures.
Image-based lighting: Stitcher Unlimited 2009
enables artists to create exceptionally high-quality environment maps and
panoramas through its support for EXR and HDR input and output.
Hotspot support: Web content creators can
create Apple® QuickTime®
VR application program hotspots; links integrated
within a panorama, which reference another panorama.
Tripod cap: The tripod cap is a highly
practical feature that enables users to cover up the tripod in their image
with an image of their own.
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) acceleration:
Autodesk Stitcher Unlimited 2009 is optimized to take advantage of graphics
card GPUs – for preview rendering in the main Viewport. The GPU is now also
used to accelerate final renders.
Selectable rendering area: Using the Stitcher
Unlimited crop tool, artists can precisely select an area to be rendered.
This tool can be used while in full-screen mode.
New User Interface (UI) and Workflow: Stitcher
Unlimited 2009 has been given a new look and feel through a redesigned user
interface, including new icons and a new palette to manage thumbnails more
efficiently.
