When we started making cinematic 360 video a few years ago there was little pre-existing technology for us to use so we had to undertake the costly process of building our own. I’ve been told that some proprietary VR cameras cost as much as ten million dollars to research, develop, and tool. Custom Cameras.

In fact, with just some simple and intuitive modification in the animation production procedure, you'd be able to change the virtual camera into a 360-degree one and shoot panoramas or 360 videos of 3D scenes you built within your favorite modelling tool, providing your viewers with exponentially better sense of space, exploration, and free-will.
