thats a good point, I better go and try to get the permission before I do alot of work on it.
thanks for the reminder.

Hmm, do we need permissions for non commercial use of refs ?

[Suirebit-3DT]

if they are copyrighted, of course you do. And one thing is to take something from google and another one to use a military image

[Akim]

ok, clear

Sorry for offtop

[Jaxko]

ok, got permission. Better get back to work.

[Jaxko]

here is an update, Im doing the full 360 panorama, got most of the snow and mountains blocked in, about 4 hours work.



im going to fix the snow that is on the ground (close to the camera) tomorrow and start to use other reference images.

thanks,
Jack

You should think about something in your base pic that you should make the main.
Now whole picture looks so much symmetric, the sight runing around and can't choose beetwen left and right hangars.

[Jaxko]

sorry for the lack of updates. just starting work on this again.



I wanted to contrast the cold with the sun and give it a warm feeling, its kinda like an oxymoron.

jaxko, you might want to crop this panorama and focus on only a part of it. It's very hard to judge it otherwise and you won't be able to focus on details if you spread too much

It is very hard to work with 360 panorama. You got much work ahead of you..Good luck.

thanks but I decided to crop it down, although the way it was being made it integrated near perfectly thanks to the offset filter :P then put the stitching in the middle and painted over it and offset it back again.
but with it being cropped I have more of a focus.
thanks.
