PhotoCad
|
PhotoCAD for MAC & PC is a professional solution for the creation of panoramic images that you can use “as is” or integrate with your architectural projects or into your 3D scenes. Resulting panoramas can be printed at high resolution or shared across the Internet.
Architects, town planners, interior decorators, theater set, landscape and exhibition booth designers can all take advantage of the new horizons opened up by the advanced functionality offered by PhotoCAD: you can now capture any 3D environment with astonishing ease ease in the form of a panoramic picture. PhotoCAD has many other gifts.
It can straighten an elevation or facade assembled from photographs, calculating a parallel projection from the original perspective – all photograph from the building industry will applaud this capability for the creation of dimensioned reference material in modeling and CAD software, such as SketchUp and ArchiCAD, or textures in Artlantis and other imaging software. It also calculates collages without distortion or color break, allowing you to recompose a high resolution poster from multiple lower resolution images.
Quick and Easy !
- Photograph.. Take all the pictures you need from a unique point of view to cover the area you are interested with (up to a fully spherical point of view), only make sure they have a 30% overlapping zone horizontally or vertically.
- Paste.. Load the pictures in PhotoCAD, position them approximately in the working window using the transparence, validate, and that’s it : the powerful and unique PhotoCAD algorithms will analyze the pictures and automatically stitch them perfectly.
- Export.. Once the calculation of the rendering is finished, you have at your disposal a new image that you can use as you wish: as a large format image to print in high resolution, as a panoramic image to integrate by mapping it with its environment, as a VRML or a Shockwave panorama…
