I've never had to create a quicktime VR in a program other than Max...and Max does it with the way it renders, so I don't know where to start in stitching some photos together to make a panorama.

Are there any free programs that do a good job of this? What's the easiest method?

Any input on this would be great.

Thanks!

not free:

PTGui to create the panos and pano2qtvr to create the qtvr files

Thanks Leo.

Not free, but Realiviz stitcher was about $100 when I purchased a few years ago...easy to use.

Not as easy to use as PTGui... PTGui result result is 3 x superior.. and 3 x faster.. I know I have both... Stitcher was nice 10 years ago.. but suffered from lack of Dev... and so Finally Autodesk Oger ate it...

pano2qtvr works really, really well. you can output to quicktime or flash and download flash interfaces to make it work within a website. would recommend it.

Hey thanks for the suggestions everyone! Great software to check out so far. Most of them have demos, so I'll try them out before purchasing.

It seems a free solution wasn't key here.

pano2qtvr is dead cheap. worth it imo.

btw.. in PTGui, you can directly output a quicktimeVR from your stiched result.. no problem..
