Maxwell 2.0 and 360 panoramas

This seems like a relatively easy add to Maxwell's camera abilities. How about a 360-deg. camera shot that you could pan around in to get the view you wanted after the rendering was complete?

Given that each image is so time-intensive, being able to change the final output without re-rendering (ie: multi-light) would make Maxwell that much more marketable!

I think Vue has this capability, so it's not unheard of ...

Wouldn't that require that the entire 360 degree view be rendered in the first place, or am I misunderstanding your wish?

Yes, you would have to specify a 360-deg. view in some camera property to begin with. Then, post-render, be able to make the view change.

I'd like to have this as well. Hope its not getting in the way with maxwells camera system.
right now, you would have to make a lot of renderings to finally stitch them together to a 360°, but it should work as well
