The biggest things about hugin, 1) learning to use the thing 2) |
| 34 |
patience. The more control points you get, the better it will turn out. |
| 35 |
Whatever you do, don't leave a control point that is not matched up. |
| 36 |
Talk about a weird picture. lol It only takes one too. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
First thing, load your pics. I usually load them in the sequence they |
| 39 |
need to be matched up with. When you have one image on the left, a |
| 40 |
different but connectible image on the right, do one control point |
| 41 |
manually. After the first one, you can pick a point on one image and it |
| 42 |
will find it on the other automagically. If it gives a error, add the |
| 43 |
point then delete it. That's where the weird pictures can come in. |
| 44 |
This varies but I try to get at least 10 or 12 points. That is a |
| 45 |
minimum. If you have the patience and really want a good picture, get |
| 46 |
30 points or more. |
| 47 |

I would suggest reading a howto with screen shots. If you need help, |
| 49 |
let me know. It's been a while but I will try. |

Oh, hugin can be complicated to. It has a lot of settings and options. |
