Virtual tours from 360° renders and CGI
Render a 360° panorama from each viewpoint of your scene and Panoramr turns them into a walk-through: a building before it is built, an interior before the refit, a game world to explore.
In short
Most 3D tools can render a spherical, or equirectangular, panorama: Blender, V-Ray, Corona, Lumion, Twinmotion, Enscape and Unreal Engine among them. Export it as a JPEG or TIFF exactly twice as wide as it is tall, up to 23,000 × 11,500 pixels, and Panoramr treats it like a photo: link the viewpoints, add notes and materials, and share or embed the tour.

Exporting renders for Panoramr
- 1
Use a spherical camera
Choose your renderer’s 360°, spherical or equirectangular panorama camera, at eye height (about 1.6 m), level.
- 2
Render 2:1
Set the output exactly twice as wide as it is tall, such as 8192 × 4096 or 12000 × 6000.
- 3
Save as JPEG or TIFF
Panoramr takes JPEG and TIFF. Convert a PNG, EXR or HDR render to a JPEG before you upload it.
- 4
One render per viewpoint
Render from every spot a visitor should stand, then link them in the Hotspots tab.
What studios make with it
Architectural visualisation
Clients and planners walk through the building, the lobby and the view, before the first brick.
Interiors and kitchens
Show a design in place, with notes on each material, finish and supplier.
Off-plan sales
Developers sell apartments from 360° renders of the show home and the balcony view.
Game and film worlds
Share an explorable preview of a level, a set or a concept, in any browser.
What studios use most
Notes, pictures and links in the room
Notes on each material, fitting and finish, with a picture of the sample.
How it worksThemes and My Designs
Save your studio’s design under My Designs and use it on every client presentation.
How it worksYour branding, not ours
A hosted tour shows no Panoramr start screen or logo, and can carry your own logo and words on the patch over the tripod.
How it worksPrivate, or by link only
Keep client work private, or open only to people with its link, and off Explore.
How it worksReshoot one room
A new design option? Replace the render and the hotspots stay where they were.
How it worksA copy for your own server
Give the client a ZIP website of the tour, in your design, for their own server.
How it works
From renders to a tour
- 1
Upload your renders
Open Create Tour, give the tour a name and drop your photos in. No sign-up and no card. They are prepared in your browser, and the tour uploads by itself when they are ready.
- 2
Design it
Choose a theme, then make it yours: colours, menus, buttons and the look of each hotspot. Choose where visitors start looking in each room.
- 3
Link the rooms
Add hotspots so visitors can walk from one room to the next, and add text, pictures, video or a floor plan where they help.
- 4
Keep it
Create a free account and the tour is yours. A guest tour is deleted after 2 days.
- 5
Put it online
Publish it free with Panoramr’s branding, or buy a Vault for it to take the branding off.
- 6
Share it
Paste its embed code into your website, and send its link by email or post it on social media.

Questions
Which 3D tools can make 360° renders?
Most of them: Blender, V-Ray, Corona, Lumion, Twinmotion, Enscape and Unreal Engine can all render a spherical (equirectangular) panorama. Check your renderer’s camera settings for 360° or panoramic.
Why was my render left out?
It is usually a PNG, or not exactly twice as wide as it is tall. Export a 2:1 JPEG or TIFF and upload it again.
Can I render a stereo (3D) panorama?
Upload the mono equirectangular render. Panoramr shows a flat 360° view, not a stereo pair.
Can I hand the tour to my client?
Yes, on the Pro, Agency or Enterprise plan: the client takes it over with a Vault and it moves into their account.
How big can a render be?
Up to 23,000 × 11,500 pixels and 250 MB a file.
