odm_photo

Renders photos from ODM generated texture models. Currently can produce 360 panoramic photos and 360 3D panoramic (VR) photos. NB: the default resolution for 360 photos is 6000x3000 (maximum supported by Facebook).

Requirements

• Blender
• ExifTool (must be on your PATH)

Usage

To generate a 360 panoramic photo:

blender -b photo_360.blend --python odm_photo.py -- <project-path>

Output is <project-path>/odm_photo/odm_photo_360.jpg.

To generate a 360 3D panoramic photo:

blender -b photo_vr.blend --python odm_photo.py -- <project-path>

Output is <project-path>/odm_photo/odm_photo_vr_L.jpg and <project-path>/odm_photo/odm_photo_vr_R.jpg.

NB: argument order matters!

odm_video

Renders videos from ODM generated texture models. Currently can produce 360 panoramic videos. NB: the default resolution is 4096x2048 (maximum supported by Facebook).

Requirements

• Blender
• Python 2.7 (must be on your PATH)
• Spatial Media Metadata Injector (https://github.com/google/spatial-media/tree/master/spatialmedia) (place in spatialmedia subdirectory)

Usage

To generate a 360 panoramic photo:

blender -b photo_360.blend --python odm_video.py -- <project-path> <camera-waypoints.xyz> <number-of-frames>

Output is <project-path>/odm_video/odm_video_360.mp4.
