Read How it Works before getting started

By carefully selecting the placement of your viewpoints, you can create an experience that fully immerses your audience and showcases your design in the best light.


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 🤗!
