Notes
Name your camera with the prefix "DS_" and have it end in a number.
Example:
DS_myCameraName_001
We accept equirectangular (spherical) maps with an image aspect of 2:1.
We do not accept cube maps at this time.
Cameras should not look up or down
Cameras must be parallel to the ground with no rotation in the y-axis. Be sure to eliminate all y-axis rotation in your cameras BEFORE you render 🤗!
