Using PTGui Pro to process hundreds to thousands of spherical images at a time by using a rendering farm.

[Jeffrey]

Hi, all.  I work for a group who uses PTGui Pro to process all of our work and we produce event safety surveys which we use both still and video spherical visuals.  Our product is a mix of visual and documentation and we on general produce at a minimal between a thousand and two thousand locations which will be included.  One of our concerns is the speed of stitching and the extensive number of pixels being calculated. 

We are interested in using our network of both PC and Mac computers as a rendering farm to assist in the speed of combining our stitching when the computers are idle.  My question are; Is this possible?  Is there software on the market that can assist in this feature of using PTGui Pro on a rendering farm computer system?  We do have a network system for both of our PC computers and Mac computer groups.  What are the issues that we might have with this?

Thanks everyone before hand.

Hi Jeffrey,

PTGui doesn't have built in support for such a rendering farm, but it
should not be too difficult to setup something like this yourself if you
can use a scripting language. Your script would watch a folder for new
project files and send them to the batch stitcher using

PTGui.exe -batch <projectfile.pts>

this will add the project file to the queue of the already running batch
stitcher.

More parameters and MacOSX info in the PTGui help under
"Reference->Batch Stitcher" (scroll down)...
