PhotoCAD is a professional solution for the creation of panoramic images that you can use, as is, or integrate with your architectural projects or into your 3D scenes. Resulting panoramas can be printed at high resolution or shared across the Internet. Architects, town planners, interior decorators, theatre set, landscape and exhibition booth designers can all take advantage of the new horizons opened up by the advanced functionality offered by PhotoCAD: you can now capture any 3D environment with astonishing ease in the form of a panoramic picture.

Photograph

Take all the pictures you need from a unique point of view to cover the area you are interested with (up to a fully spherical point of view), only make sure they have a 30% overlapping zone horizontally or vertically.

Paste

Load the pictures in PhotoCAD, position them approximately in the working window using the transparence, validate, and that's it: the powerful and unique PhotoCAD algorithms will analyze the pictures and automatically stitch them perfectly.

Export

Once the calculation of the rendering is finished, you have at your disposal a new image that you can use as you wish: as a large format image to print in high resolution, as a panoramic image to integrate by mapping it with its environment, as a VRML or a Shockwave panorama'
