I know, I know... another tutorial. Sorry, I'm sure 95% of you aren't interested in any more tiny planet/360 panos but for the 5% that actually wanted to know how I was achieving the highly distorted/cartoon look to my Tiny Planet photos, here you go. The new Sphere pano mode makes capturing the photos a breeze. This video is mostly focused on stitching in MS ICE and editing in Photoshop.
Tiny Planet tutorial Part II; using Sphere Panorama and Microsoft ICE done. New Pano mode is a huge time saver.
