Batch Processing with Cube2Pano

Post by Nicholas »

This is a small simple .BAT file I made for use on Win 2000/XP systems as a front end to a panorama stitcher called Cube2Pano. Cube2Pano is a tool that uses PTStitcher which is part of the free panorama tools called PanoTools. The problem with Cube2Pano is that it doesn't support batch processing.

So this simple program acts as a front end to processing a set of six cube faces into a one equirectangular image for a series of frames. This is extremely useful if you want to make a panorama animation from 3D Studio MAX as 3D Studio MAX does not support exporting panorama images in a sequence. The work around is to export 6 cube faces and use these tools to stitch them together.

This tool assumes the images you are feeding into it have the sequence number of the frame at the front and not at the back of the file name.

So for example when making panorama images they are always fed in this order Front, Right, Back, Left, Up and Down

The naming convention expected as an input for this program would be ####_imageXX.jpg.

#### refers to the sequence numbers of your frames, image is the name you have given to your sequence and XX refers to 11,22,33,44,55,66 which in order of cube faces is Front, Right, Back, Left, Up and Down.

The program can easily be changed to add the sequence number at the back of the file name but it is not advisable as Cube2Pano deletes letters off its input file names and appends its own letters which can destroy your frame ordering hence why I have opted to use a front sequence naming convention here.

This program was mainly written for sequences that begin with 0s but can easily be used with single digit or larger sequence numbers.

This program expects that Cube2Pano and this .BAT are in the same folder as the images you expect to process and doesn't check for stupidly inputted variables such as a letter when a digit is expected so use wisely

Just paste into notepad and save as BatchCube2Pano with the extension .bat

Batch Processing with Cube2Pano

Ive written an updated version of this small app to include a batch rename function for those who do not have a renaming function handy. This will allow you to take a sequential output straight out of your 3D app and use it with this stitcher.
