Re: Making a pano logo,

[Glenn Barry <glenn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bruce,
Just a guess, but I'd say that it was done in one of the 3d programs with
the stitched panorama used as a texture on the cylinder and exported as an
image file. It may need the image to be used on both the interior and the
exterior of the cylinder to give the transparent effect.  For anyone that
has used any 3d programs this should be a snap.
