360° panoramas

A 360° panorama captures everything around one point, so the viewer can look in every direction. Arcvelle renders panoramas on your device as standard equirectangular images, 4096 × 2048 pixels, at an eye height of 1.6 m.

Tips and limits

• Panoramas use exposure only; the other finishing effects do not apply.
• Set the room's Ceiling colour before rendering, since the ceiling is in view. See Wall finishes and ceilings.
• The viewpoint is always the centre of a room. If that point is inside a piece of furniture, move the piece or render a still image instead.
• The viewer warns you if an image is not twice as wide as it is tall, because it will look stretched.
• The image also works in other 360° viewers and on platforms that support 360° photos.
• Images opened in the panorama viewer stay on your device.
• For a guided route through several rooms, share a presentation.
