Wee Planet : 3D panoramic photos as planets – its all about coordinate systems
A beautiful panoramic picture of Paris. 360 degree photo called Eiffel planet, was built from 80 pictures.
To create this effect, all you need to do is to use the “polar coordinate filter” and then use rotational filter in your photo editing software: hmmm.. why does that sound so familiar?
Our mind already does so much processing of the visual stimuli we receive, sometime it is good to start with raw data and reprocess it in a different way.
For more 3D – Wee Planet pictures of Paris, see here. And you can see more Wee Planet pictures of interesting vistas here.
If you want to make your own planet – use planetizer!

I loved the Wee Planets the minute I saw the first one…
So much that I have created a website dedicated to them as well as some Wee Planet T-shirts, clocks, mugs and other accessories that you might like… Let us know…
But I thought you might also be interested by the fact that you can become affiliate, grab some banners to put on your blog and start earning commissions with these great photos!
You can also become a Wee Planets fan on facebook.
These are excellent. Slightly trickier than they may seem. My first attempts failed, maybe because I’m using old photos not really aimed at doing this. Better to take them with this specifically in mind?
And interesting to read that the beautiful Paris image was made of 80 photos… (I’ve been attampting with only 10 or 12… hmm)
Very impressive, but not very useflull panoramas. I think, that people wants to view such pictures as in our site. These pictures here I not very intuitive to watch.
