I have the same problem as Mike but It's because I don't want to download
Microsoft Virtual Machine (4.5 Meg) since I'm on a 33.6k modem. I just
_hate_ M$

That's pretty spiffy, Unky Ken.
How can the program get smooth pictures of any angle from two fisheye views?

That's directly dependent on how far in you want to zoom, no?
Just like with regular bitmaps.

The views cover all areas visible from the current viewpoint. For a fixed
viewpoint, that's all the information you need.

Oh hell, this thing crashed my machine when I tried to kill the window. This is
the last time I will enamble Java on my browser.
The images were nice though.

Personally, I like QTVR better. It does some kind of smoothing so 
zooming looks better, and allows you to move around to different "nodes" 
within the scene. But it doesn't seem to get used very much, and there 
aren't many tools for it...

And anyway, this is Java, so it runs on nearly any machine. That is 
quite a big advantage...

By any chance can you get free AOL CD's where you are? That's a quick way
over here to get MSIE 5.0 and I think it includes their VM.

Hi Josh English, you recently wrote in povray.general:

Where does he do that? I found no reference to how he sets up the
POV-Ray camera or any script examples, only the hardware and software
he used.

Did I miss something?

Yep :)  If you look on the train station page -

http://home4.inet.tele.dk/ibras/hbg57.htm

Towards the bottom of the page he describes the POV-Ray fisheye camera
he used plus he also lists all of the software he used to compose the
final image and the software used to compile the applet.
