Hello All, I have a Few NooB Questions....

i am interested in doing virtual tours of homes and offices, as well as scenic panoramas.. I understand Stitcher’s roll in doing this (i think) but i have some questions that i think the community might be of assistance with. 

For some of these questions, it may be helpful to know that i run on PC, i currently use XP Pro and XP Pro 64 bit

#1 i currently have a Cannon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi camera body and a few lenses (just the regular lenses that come with it and also a 75-300mm i believe).. Seeing that budget is an issue (really i don’t have much of a budget at all :( ) what is the best way (cost effective should be a factor) to do 3d tours?

#2 When in stitcher, after i stitch all my images, what is the best way to render it if i wanted to do a 3d tour on a website? (this leads to Question #3)

#3 I’m not a big fan of Quick Time viewers on websites, i would much rather my scenes be viewed through a flash object..  what is the best way to achieve this? (this may change your answer to Q #2)

#4 What is the best way to render and display a panning panorama for a website (if quick time is not an option)

#5 What render method is best for what (keeping in mind that i am interested in doing 3d tours and panoramas) I am VERY new to Stitcher, but i would consider myself an extremely advanced Photoshop user.  I do see that stitcher can render to PSD, but for what i am trying to do (3d tours and panning panoramas) I’m not sure which way to render is the best (cubic, spherical, or any of the other options they have available) I do understand that the final render would need to be to something other than PSD, (or i would save to something like a JPG or TIF from photoshop once it is rendered), but i see great potential in doing some touch ups in Photoshop that i do not see available in stitcher.... which leads to the next question..

#6 do you all normally touch up each photo prior to importing them in stitcher, or after they are stitched (render to PSD from stitcher and then touch up?)?

#7 i could have sworn that i read something about Stitcher having a 64 bit version, but everywhere i look no i only see x86 (32 bit) available..  Is there (or was there) a 64 bit version available?

If for any of these answers a third party software or component is necessary please provide me with as much info on those products as possible (full name, mfg website, approx cost, etc..)

I am sure i could keep coming up with some questions, but i think once i have a little better of an understanding of the above Q’s then i may have fewer questions than i do now..

Thank you in advance!

p.s. feel free to point me in the direction of something that would explain something to me if the resources are already out there.  I am going to go watch the videos that Autodesk provides to make sure i learn all that i can… :)

Awsome..  Thank you badders!!!!!!

If anyone reads this, I’m actuall try to make a new post concerning installation of Stitcher Unlimited, and do not see amethod of doing so. Any suggestions? Thanks
