Show us your ROOM 360!
charliesuh \| 9:08 PM on 02.25.2008	110 comments

So this weekend Ceark showed me this awesome program that basically automatically stitches a series of photos together into a panoramic! It's AMAZING! All you need to do is stand in one spot, take a bunch of pictures all around (try to get everything in there) and then load it up on this program: autostitch.
If you don't have a good camera don't worry! You can even do it with a shitty cell phone camera like Ceark! I'm not being sarcastic either, they will still turn out great! Make sure you cover everything, we wanna see all four walls!

Get going, show us all how awesome/ugly/scary your room is! (if you feel like your room is too messy and don't want to show everyone, just look at CannibalCalvin's room, you'll feel better about your own: http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i171/Cannibalcalvin/pano.jpg)

Here's mine! (41 photos stitched together)

Full Size

(btw, my room normally isn't this clean, I spent a few hours cleaning it just to take this picture!)

Btw, I'll post a picture heavy post on the crazy SF Narp tomorrow!

Also, if you're having some trouble, here's the way I took the pictures...

::Edit::
I'm planning on saving all of these and making a huge compilation of Dtoider's rooms! So even if you think your room is "boring" or whatever, DO IT!!! The more the better!

[UPDATE]
Here's who I have saved so far:

Thats a nice room, what is that set of 9 pics on the wall, i wanna spruce up my room and that seems like a good place to start.

Forty-one pictures? Jeez...so you only rotated, on average, under nine degrees per photo? God damn. Either way, it looks pretty cool! Also...I really like the design/decor of your room. God, even if I tried to clean my dorm room, it wouldn�t look half as neat as that...

Bah, I need to tidy my room up a bit before I even think of posting something like this. hah.

charlie you have a nice freakin' room.

looks like you've mastered panoramics in a day. (I feel so inadequate again >.>)

I've got some more great tools for you to try btw. Glad you're havin' fun with that.

ZeroTolo says:

Sweet. I tried it with mine, but it only gave me about half the actual room. I'll try again later.

@taumpytears
It's just a fun little photo project I did, using jewel cd cases. Here's a closer shot: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/charliesuh/IMG_4497e.jpg
Also, they are velcro'd on the wall so I can easily mix and rearrange them, also since they are cd cases, I can switch the pictures any time! This set is of a series of pictures I took when I was at Huntington beach with some friends.

@Wedge
It's my black Dreamcast!

My room at my parents house.

I'll do a good panorama of the room where I live and study.

I just wish there was a viewer for it that would allow a software rotation. Kind of the Google Maps of amateur home tours.

(# 14) on 02/25/2008 21:47

really nice. will you be using it for more than bedroom shots?

liqideos says:
(# 15) on 02/25/2008 21:48

Charlie, did you get the R7 DC or the Sega Sports DC.

If it's the R7...I'm going to be quite jealous.

BTW, I'm totally stealing that jewel case project.

charliesuh says:
(# 16) on 02/25/2008 21:51

@topgeargorilla
Hell yea! You can expect tons of these panoramics from every event I go to from now on!

@liqideos
Unfortunatly its the Sega Sports DC -_-, don't get me wrong, I'm not much of a sports fan (even though there were some good sports games on the dc), the DC was a gift a long time ago!

ceark says:
(# 17) on 02/25/2008 21:54

seeing as you masted the panorama already I"m gonna share another technique with you in abit.

It's a little whacked as my camera slanted at times, but whatever. I tried twice and dun feel like doing it a third time.. I need a cooler room like Charlie's ;~;()

That's rad! I'd totally do that, but I doubt any of you want to see a 360 view of my kid's toys strewn across the living room.

Eek, accidentally hit �Add Comment�. Anyway, now that you explained the method, it makes more sense. I�ll have to try that some time...

ceark says:
(# 38) on 02/25/2008 22:51

here ya go charlie. You commented on how since I live alone, my entire apartment is basically one bedroom. Going off of that, I thought I'd expand your definition of panoramic abit by taking out the "stand in one spot". This is a technique I've only seen a used a few times. I don't think it has a name so I'll just call it panamorphic for now.

LARGE
SMALL

ceark says:
(# 39) on 02/25/2008 22:53

also, shitty cellphone cam again. and I was to lazy to do any clean up.

Samit Sarkar says:
(# 40) on 02/25/2008 22:55

Sheesh, ceark. When you said �LARGE�, you weren�t kidding! That picture broke my 1024�768 laptop screen, lol

ceark says:
(# 41) on 02/25/2008 22:56

sorry. the large is at 1/5 scale too >.>

Samit Sarkar says:

Also, I have that Sin City poster, and it is amazing!

"if you feel like your room is too messy and don't want to show everyone, just look at CannibalCalvin's room, you'll feel better about your own: http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i171/Cannibalcalvin/pano.jpg) "
