Unity PhotosphericView

Photosphere view using procedural inverted normal sphere and custom unlit equirectangular shader to avoid big texture distorsion

Getting Started

Original idea Andrewnoske PanoramaViewer

• Put InvertedSphere.cs into /Assets/Editor folder
• Generate a procedural sphere (normal inverted) with custom radius (ex: 20) ( Menu > GameObject > Insert Other > Inverted Sphere... )
• Use equirectangular.shader as sphere's material

Essential source file InvertedSphere

Notes

• The problem with original idea is that texture present big distortion issue with conventional unlit shader, that's why custom equirectangular shader for inverted sphere was created
• shader uses shader model 3.0 and requires OpenGL ES 3.0 to work properly. If you want to compile for android, check manualy the API version to OpenGL ES 3.0. remove OpenGL ES 2.0 otherwise Unity will freeze.
• The generated sphere (manually with 3d modeling software or procedurally with unity) MUST be normal inverted otherwise it will not work
