Exporting to Preset Nodes

C_Stitcher includes an Export dropdown, which automatically adds preset script components allowing you to quickly create node trees for common VR tasks.

Select the required operation from the dropdown and then click Create to add the script to the Node Graph:

• STMap (split) - creates a single C_STMap containing a stitch_map channel for all views in the stitch. You can examine individual views from the C_Stitcher output by selecting the view above the Viewer and then selecting the stitch_map channel from the channels dropdown.

• STMaps (separate) - creates a separate C_STMap node, containing a stitch_map channel, for each view in the stitch.

This export is similar to STMap (split), but the views are separated out into individual streams using OneView nodes.

• Manual STMap Stitch (split) - creates a workflow to distort the original inputs from C_CameraSolver through a single C_STMap containing a stitch_map channel for all views in the stitch. The views are then passed to C_Blender to create the stitch.

• Manual STMap Stitch (separate) - creates a workflow to distort the original inputs from C_CameraSolver through separate C_STMaps, containing a stitch_map channel, for all views in the stitch. The views are then recombined using a JoinViews and the final output passed to C_Blender to create the stitch.

This export is similar to Manual STMap Stitch (split), but the views are separated out into individual streams using two OneView nodes per view: one for the C_CameraSolver view and one for the C_STMap transform information.

• PPass (split) - creates a single C_STMap containing a ppass_map channel for all views in the stitch. You can examine individual views from the C_Stitcher output by selecting the view above the Viewer and then selecting the ppass_map channel from the channels dropdown.

• PPass (separate) - creates a separate C_STMap node, containing a ppass_map channel, for each view in the stitch.

This export is similar to PPass (split), but the views are separated out into individual streams using OneView nodes.
