Autodesk Stitcher 2009 - part 2 of 1 2 3 4

Timings:

As Stitcher can use the processing power in your graphics card (GPU) to speed up rendering I have repeated the test with and without the GPU enabled.

As you can see, Stitcher 2009 is the fastest version yet and using the CPU in your graphics card makes a large difference in rendering times, reducing the time by over 50%.

Although Autodesk quickly released an update Version 5.7.1, version 2009 is the first major release under the new owners, so I was very interested to see what new features Autodesk has added. I was a bit disappointed to learn that there were only three new features that did not appear in version 5.7.

1. Support for the Sunex lens

The addition of specific distortion parameters for the Sunex fish-eye lens. This is a lens with a 185° field of vision designed for the smaller sensors of cameras such as the Nikon D200 or Canon 50D. The lens has a fixed aperture of f/5.6 and a fixed focal length of 5.6mm. For further details and prices, see www.360tacticalVR.co.uk. In general Stitcher works well with fisheye lenses but I don't use this lens so I cannot confirm how well this feature works.
