Thank you very much.
I have a project coming up that I plan to do a number of panoramas which will be iterative. I now I know that I need to plan for MUCH more time for each iteration. <SIGH>
I just had a brainstorm idea.... if they have an online viewer, they are obviously exporting to a common format for viewing. Would it not be possible to just scrape the images from the viewer URL once exported?
...they only become jpg's when a user chooses to export them from the Upload Management dialog.
I know you are the resident panorama expert, and this seems like a relevant clarification, so I will ask here.
I understand Enscape added Batch Panorama export.
Are you saying that if I batch render panoramas (for example 50 of them) I must then export them all individually from the Upload Management dialog in order to use them via another viewer???
Thanks!
I think their may be a misunderstanding of what FOV does.
Changing FOV is *exactly* the same thing as cropping an image.
If I render a 90 degree FOV, and crop it, I end up with *exactly* the same image as if I rendered with a smaller FOV that matches the cropped versions extents.
A panoramic image works exactly the same. The viewer is just "cropping" (while also changing projection)
The only thing that would fix your issue is the ability to choose a default FOV of the viewer (or use a different viewer)
Nothing needs to happen to the panoramic image which is saved when rendering.
If post is not a reasonable option, you can bring the photo in as geometry. The are even scripts that will create a "photo plane" that matches the camera viewing extents.
This avoids the need for post and also the unavoidable "fringe" that you will have to deal with.
For some eyelevel backgrounds this provides the added benefit of being able to animate the camera position slightly as still be believable.
Batch will ONLY use the FOV stored in the Visual Style. So if you have Sync on while previewing the output from Batch will not match.
Batch rendering will ignore any FOV saved in a Sketchup scene (which is very confusing)
There has been several requests to allow for the sync button to function during batch rendering as well. I have not seen this added to the roadmap yet however.
I can confirm both issues (this and RE: Render Pass issues - version 3) is fixed in 3.4.2.
Also, I have just successfully rendered a model using 3.4.2 that consistently crashed on 3.4.1.
In 2.9 objects with a material that uses a MASK texture showed up correctly in Material ID and Object ID passes.
In 3.3 & 3.2 objects with a material that uses a CUTOUT texture show up incorrectly in Material ID and Object ID passes.
Note: This likely may affect 3.0 & 3.1, I switched directly to 3.2 from 2.9. (I was avoiding the upgrade because of all the issues. We can add this one to the list. )
See attached.
Thanks!
Has this been fixed?
I could not complete a recent rendering on 3.4 due to repeated crashes. Reverted to 3.3 an no problems.
Thank you for documenting this so well.
Thank you for pointing out this is (hopefully) already being worked on.
In the past, whatever material I had selected in Sketchup would automatically appear when I launch the Enscape Material Editor.
Now, I must repick the material again.
Can this be changed back to how it worked before?
Thanks!
I use Sketchup. The dialogue boxes for exporting videos do not have a default focus, therefore I cannot hit "Enter" to accept a default function immediately when the dialog box appears. This is counterintuitive (as other software typically does provide a default option which one can accept by hitting Enter) and slower than it needs to be (especially because a Batch Video rendering solution has not been provided despite repeated requests)
Please either:
1) Provide Batch Rendering for Videos
2) Provide a default focus so that our attempts to manually process dozens of video segments can be efficient as possble
3) Do both! 
Thanks!
Glad to hear you like the idea, hopefully it will be implemented soon.
I prefer to use the Feature Requests section on this forum.
Currently when exporting a video the banner cannot be moved and it is in the middle of the screen. I often review my work as my rendering is proceeding, and we can cancel if we notice a mistake. This improves interactivity, which is Enscape's hallmark. Please either move this banner or allow it to be moved.
Thanks!
Thank you very much for the suggestion, but I am not looking for a workaround.
Is the description above what you experience as well?
To recreate:
In Enscape viewport while using Video Editor
1) move the camera... do not hit Update.
2) Change the FOV
For me the view changes back to the previous position saved in the keyframe.
Does this happen for you as well?
(fwiw... saving XML is not a reasonable workaround to this issue imo... I could more easily just remember to hit Update *every time I move the camera* instead of saving the xml *every time I move the camera*.)
Thanks!
In the video editor, I am not able to adjust both camera position and fov without updating the keyframe between. If I change the camera position, and then change FOV, the camera position resets to the last saved position. If this is as designed, my feedback is that this is very unintuitive and frustrating.
Note: If there was an Undo in the video editor this would be as bad, but as it is now one must recreate the precise viewpoint they were in the process of refining... fun stuff!
