these are made from a series of overlapping pictures, and software called cool 360 (or something like that)... honestly, they're pretty easy to put together, but they sure do look nice

is the software available on the internet? i'd love to make a few of these.

also, how many pictures do you take?

 

[popkid]

i would try www.ulead.com they might have a trial version available for download, or i'm sure you could just download the full version if you order it...

i normally take 12 - 20 pictures... i think the minimum you want to take is 12... just picture yourself standing in the middle of a clock, and turning to face each hour - taking a picture as you do...

you just have to be prepared for people laughing at you as you stand there - take a picture - turn - take a picture - turn - take a picture and so on...
