Abstract
An equirectangular image of a three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment is generated in a computer-automated fashion. In one example, a 3D virtual position of a virtual camera in a 3D virtual environment is specified. For each of a plurality of different yaw angles rotated about an axis extending through the 3D virtual position, the virtual camera is used to acquire an image strip of pixels parallel to the axis of rotation. Image strips of pixels of the 3D environment acquired at the different yaw angles are assembled to form an equirectangular image of the 3D virtual environment from the specified 3D virtual position.
