I meant what "panorama" format, which is how the panorama source image(s) get stored so they can successfully render visually by the engine that displays them. They probably all use JPG.

Found here some 360 images taken with a drone.

Are these will be supported with X3 ?

This is the most compatible format, but it has to be exactly 2:1 format, not some partial equirectangular format. FYI

I’ve sent a link to the drone 360 panorama photo . Have you found it ?

Sorry, I missed your previous post.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like DJI stores panoramas in equirectangular format. It seems like multiple images are stored as "tiles", and by no means does it necessarily create a complete 360 degree view. I also see that DJI automatically creates a downsized complete "stitched" source from all the tiles, but I don't this creates a full 360 view, but just the angle of all tiles.
https://forum.dji.com/thread-37918-1-1.html

It seems like one would mainly use their native application to display panoramas from the tiles. I don't think X3 can handle them by just dropping the sources directly into X3.

On the other hand, you can easily embed the panoramas directly into X3 pages, just like the panoramas are embedded on the page you linked to:
https://360rumors.com/dji-mini-3-unique/

To be honest, although I did some research, it's not quite clear to me how DJI users are supposed to display their panoramas. It seems it stores the panorama tiles, and then there are several options available to the user, who may need to do some post-processing. In the below links, they are talking about creating an equirectangular image from stitched DJI source.
https://mavicpilots.com/threads/turn-li ... 60.111744/
https://mavicpilots.com/threads/best-wa ... as.127649/

In conclusion, it seems you have several options, although unlikely you can just "drop" the panorama source created by DJI into X3.

So that means I won’t be able to just upload the end 360 panorama photo onto x3 ? I still need to take 1 photo and send it to you for final test if that’s ok.

Unless it stores images in 2:1 equirectangular format, then no it doesn't seem likely that you can use X3's native panorama viewer. Feel free to send.

I downloaded and checked the file. I am a bit unsure what this is, but it's doesn't look like a spherical panorama, and it certainly isn't 360. It looks to me like a large flat panorama (which in some ways isn't really a panorama). Can you view this file in any native ways from the device or application?

It seems like a "flat" panorama similar to the link below.
https://demo.photo.gallery/examples/plu ... onasteries

As noted, is there any in-app way of viewing it with or from your device or provided software? It's possible to display "flat" panoramas in X3, but not directly from that source, as it's just a high-resolution image (not spherical). For X3 to support ultra high-res flat panoramas, they need to be chopped into tiles by apps like Pano2VR or KRPano, with data exported as JSON/XML so that X3 can compile the panorama correctly from the tiles.

Unfortunately, this file alone can't create any panorama in X3.

The DJi drones takes multiple images when taking 360 photo. Then creates a panorama in the app but saves every photo on the sd card. I have merged them files in photoshop. Will need to check if I can export the file from the DJi app.

Before I can really answer this in any sense, I would need to see an example of the panorama output you expect from this. As noted previously, this doesn't look like a spherical panorama, but just an ultra-high resolution image ... which they might cut up into tiles to create a "zoomable image", like I referred to as "flat" panorama in my previous post.
Faust wrote:does panoramas works with drone 360 images ?
Referring to your original question, the example you provided is definitely not a "360" drone image. I did a quick search and found this on Youtube, where he does some manual work to stitch together a 360 equirectangular image.

If you already own a license, you can purchase additional X3 PRO "consecutive" licenses at $50.00 per license.
https://www.photo.gallery/buy/#x3_consecutive

If not, you will need to purchase the first license at normal price, and second license at the above price.
