hello everyone, today I would like to
show you how to render a panorama
image in blender using cycles rendering engine. Panoramic renders are useful for
presenting your works to a client with
a VR headset and it is very emotional
when presented in the headset, where
users look at every part of the room and
feel there.. or it is also useful for
uploading to social media sites like
Facebook, it gives much better
impression than normal renders. First of
all we need a 3d model. You can use
either your own or download this one
from the link mentioned in the
description. Once the model is ready
follow these simple steps to render a 360
image. step one camera settings: first of
all we need to position the camera at
the center to see all the objects
perfectly. And the easiest way to do this
is by using a 3d cursor. First, select the
room then press shift s and click on
cursor to selected from the snap pie
menu. Now we have the cursor at the
center and press shift+a, click on camera to
add a camera here. We also want the
camera to cover all the sides perfectly.
so go to  n-panel item tab, set X and Z
rotation to 90 degree and Y rotation to
0
step 2 render settings: first go to
render properties, change the rendering
engine to cycles, after that go to output
properties and change the resolution to
a 2:1 ratio. From my experience 6000x
3000 will be enough to give you a decent
result
now go to camera properties, change the
camera type to panoramic and panorama
type to equirectangular  after that,
switch to camera view by pressing 0 and
see the panoramic view viewport
render preview mode. since this is an
interior design use render samples at
least 512, turn on denoise data and
add a denoise node in composting. Finally, hit F12 and wait to finish the
rendering. Once it is done you can save
the result as PNG, JPEG or openexr format
jpg will be more convenient for
uploading to social media platforms and
other formats are useful for portfolio
or VR presentations. Also, I tried my
best to include most of the information
in the description. But if you know more
about this topic then please share in
the comments section below
now it is time for a timelapse video of
the entire workflow..
