How to make a 360 degree picture like The Matrix movie?

function

Today saw a tutorial in Youtube: <DAZ Studio - How to make 360 Degree Images>, it is a good tutorial to put the camera at centre and then make a 360 degree picture for the environment by choosing the lens to spherical.

After saw that, I jumped out a question, how to make a 360 degree picture like the movie <The Matrix>?

Remeber when Neo fighting with enemies, the scene suddenly stopped, and the camera was rotated around Neo for about 200 degrees, that is amazing!

So the question is, can DAZ make a similar 360 degree picture like The Matrix?

what you're asking is about an animation, right? because a picture... doesn't move. not in 360 or any degrees.. right? correct me if i'm wrong or didn't understand the issue, as often ;)

so, i never did it in daz, but in another prog a while ago, this animation where you stop a complete scene's content that stays immobile, but the camera's view continues to rotate.
all you have to do is have a key that "finalizes" all objects' movement and stays the same until the end or until when you want things to begin moving again, but your cam animation rotates further (or rather starts to rotate) = the keys go on...

meanwhile, the 360" panorama pic you're showing is totally something else, nothing to do with each other. i think.

ok, i suck so badly at explaining, that's awful. i hope someone can translate my garbage into a language humans understand XDDD

Well, the pic I uploaded is the half way of a '360 degree picture', just add some preference text inside and upload to Facebook, will be auto assmebled a real 360 degree picture and showing in Facebook, that's what the Youtube tutorial provider said, and shown. Recommend you to have a look in Youtube, the owner is VD GFX.

That means the pic includes complete material that needed for a 360 degree picture, so my question is how to use DAZ to render complete material of a Matrix like picture and how to assemble it in software like Facebook.

ahhh you want a 3D picture on facebook where the foreground stays still

sadly not possible in a VR image, Quicktime and flash could do it but nobody uses flash or Quicktime now

I bought a DAZ studio 3 plugin called 3D web exporter that did it and hosted the encrypted files at Art studio on the old site

Guess Facebook deal with the picture and make it as a swf file (flash) or html5 files. I'm not familiar with VR, but heard it can be.

There are some softwares can make the picture like what I uploaded to a 360 degree picture (Panorama), such as Pano2VR,  and export to .swf or html5, the last can be seen on cell phone and web browser. A lot of websites provide this kind panorama pictures.

yes Pano2VR one I used to use too but nobody is supporting that on webpages now for security reasons

Got some vocabulary of this kind Matrix like effect: Bullet Time, Time Slice, Time Freeze, or Quick draw.

Believe it is not difficult to be made by DAZ, but how?

well using video like the movie it's certainly possible, You are wanting an interactive image, that's limited by the format not the program.

so what the OP wanted was kinda like a 2-layer pano?...

a 3D model embeded in an interactive viewer I gather but with a 360 background

like they do at Sketchfab or on shareCG,

https://sketchfab.com/3d-viewer

the webviewer plugin I have for DS3 does it but that format no longer supported in browsers

you have the issue of needing interactive licenses too

I think a video would be much simpler and one could still scrub back and forth

for those who don't want to keyframe it themselves there even is a product

Looks great, that is about 60% of what I want, but, it could not include an environment/backdrop, so it is not a 100% Bullet Time. Guess same result for the 360 Rotating Turntable Animations.

yeah those have plain backgrounds as showcasing the model

but I can assure you it is possible to add a "skybox" or environment dome to such things as I used to do it with both the webviewer and the old Carrara 6 export option that did the same thing, the problem is such shockwave flash files need to be supported by a browser, the Gardengnome software suffers the same limitations.

where as a YouTube video can be embedded easily on most sites including this forum

just doing a turntable animation from 0° to 360° is simple and people can just scrub through them

I found an old thread of mine  on the discontinued viewer 

and nothing works now
