Some of the projections are practical, and some are weird and meant to emphasize the bizarre and vertiginous quality of ultra-wide-angle photography.Ī.k.a. Meridians are vertical, parallels are horizontal, and the north and poles are stretched out to lines at the top and bottom. The image sphere as seen from the outside Scanning panoramic cameras produce this kind of image.Īngular distance from the center of projection increases uniformly toward the edge. The FOV slider controls the zoom, which can go all the way to a 180° field of view. Produces views balancing naturalness with vertigo. The FOV slider controls the zoom, which can go all the way to a 360° field of view. This is the format needed for some panorama viewers, including QuickTime VR. The view is infinitely stretched toward the top and bottom, so the vertical view is determined by the rectangle's proportions.Īn unusual projection with a finite height and infinite width. The FOV slider controls the zoom, which can go all the way to a 360° field of view.Ī wide diamond shape with a crease at the equator.Ī square full of creases.
Good for scenes containing lots of straight lines. Labrys-like shape with limited distortion. It's the central portion of a mirror ball projection. Goggle-shaped view which presents the whole sphere in a style like the hyperbolic projection, but with less extreme size changes. Weird projection with inside and outside regions bounded by a circular black-hole-like discontinuity.Īn unfolded small rhombicosidodecahedron. You can change the center of projection - the point in the input image that winds up at the center of the output.
Latitude moves the center of projection north and south. Longitude moves the center of projection east and west. įlexify can also set the center of projection automatically in three ways: Spin spins the view around the center of projection. The reset button sets latitude, longitude, and spin to zero. The axis button sets latitude, longitude, and spin to multiples of 90°. This usually gives views that are symmetrical-looking. The dice button generates totally random views. Click it as much as you want to see different effects.įlexify has fourteen projections that you can print, cut out, fold, and glue together to make a three-dimensional printout of your panorama.
If you use a map of Earth as your input image, you can make a crude globe. Tabs sets the width of "glue tabs" that make the polyhedron easier to glue together. The Tab color button sets the color of the tabs.
