posted in Stitching Software, Stitching Software |HOORAY!!! It’s official. GigaPan Stitch is out of Beta and available for downloading. What’s new? SPEED SPEED SPEED!!!!! And the 360 Bug is finally fixed. Hallelujah! I’m off to the races!

Now get stitching!
Now if only there were a larger mount released along side the software to go with it. Perhaps one that would accomodate a large DSLR camera… an “Epic Pro” if you will…Hmm…
I’m still seeing some problems with 360 panoramas in the Stitcher 1.0 software. Just curious what the ’360 bug’ is, and how was it resolved? I’m trying to do some quick panoramas, with some wide FOV images (27mm, ~50 deg), and Stitcher isn’t wrapping them correctly at the 360 overlap….
I’ve been using the informal name ’360 bug’ for all of my large 360 degree panoramas that failed to stitch with the 0.4.xxx versions of the GigaPan Stitcher software. I’m not privy to the fixes that were incorporated into the new version of GigaPan Stitch, but they have proven successful for all my previous 360 failures but one. The only 360 that failed with the new software had some other issues that might have been at fault.
You should definitely submit a bug report about this.
The new “ICE” stitcher handles gigapans:

I have had a hell of a time trying to retrieve my key for the stitcher. I’ve tried repeatedly to get hold of Rich Gibson or Randy Sargent… nada.. Does anyone know who I can contact to get my key again?
