Netherlands-based VR production company Panoptice created a virtual tour of Van Nelle Fabriek in Rotterdam, declared UNESCO heritage of architecture and historical value.
The team deployed SGO's Mistika Boutique for the creative post-production process and Mistika Workflows to automate rendering of high-res deliverables.
Van Nelle Fabriek was very futuristic and pioneering for its time; it was built with concrete pillars instead of brickwork with steel and glass sides that provide abundant natural daylight to create different facilities for the employees' comfort. Today, this historical building is being used by many companies as a shared co-working space.
It is such a wonderful installation to share with the world. We wanted to deliver a realistic virtual experience for everyone who could never physically visit the facility,
says Marcel Knotter, 360 video developer at Panoptice.

Optimizing post process with Mistika Boutique
When capturing 360 content, sometimes keeping a minimum distance between camera and objects can be problematic. Mistika Boutique allowed Panoptice to adjust every image and camera input in the Stitch Node, facilitating an optimal balance between sharpness and overlap. The software helped them to speed up the workflow, by allowing them to simply copy and paste stitching presets and other nodes to individual or multiple clips.
The VR Stitch and sharpen tools were used for improving the stitching of the images, and to add a nadir logo in the 360 shots. The creatives also used the keyframing feature to simulate virtual movement and make the stitches picture-perfect.

In addition, Mistika's ability to add annotations was essential during the lockdown as it allowed them to make suggestions and easily switch between working from home and the office. Mistika Boutique's unique infinite Timespace was also extremely useful for the project, facilitating the creation of multiple formats to match the output needed. We used the same environment to export PNG files and H.265 for Social Media, adds Knotter.
Automating the deliverables with Mistika Workflows
The main objective of the project was to immerse the viewer by capturing details in very high resolution. Despite the original heavy files, the team managed to ensure cross platform delivery by optimizing the compression of the shots. After the creative part was completed in Mistika Boutique, we deployed Mistika Workflows to take care of the rendering process. We used 8K and 20K resolution outputs, both stereoscopic and monoscopic, says Knotter.

To fully automate this process, the team created render scripts in Mistika Boutique, saving both videos and photos in a dedicated Watch folder that was then automatically programmed to run at the end of the day. This allowed me to liberate Mistika Boutique from rendering tasks and move forward with other creative steps. In the background Mistika Workflows was programmed to take care of the rest rendering and direct delivery to clients' FTPs, concludes Marcel.
Panoptice usa la tecnolog a Mistika para crear el tour virtual de Van Nelle Fabriek', patrimonio de la UNESCO
La productora holandesa Panoptice cre una visita virtual de Van Nelle Fabriek en Rotterdam, declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO gracias a su valor hist rico y arquitect nico. Para la post-produci n del proyecto, el equipo emple Mistika Boutique, y para automatizar la exportaci n de im genes de alta calidad, us Mistika Workflows, ambas soluciones de SGO.
La f brica era muy futurista y pionera para su poca; Fue construida con pilares de hormig n en lugar de ladrillo, paredes de vidrio que permit an la entrada de abundante luz natural y numerosas instalaciones para la comodidad de los empleados. En la actualidad muchas empresas utilizan el edificio como un espacio de coworking .
Es un lugar extraordinario para compartir con el mundo. Quer amos brindar una experiencia virtual realista a todos aquellos que nunca podr an visitar las instalaciones en persona ,
dice Marcel Knotter, editor de v deo 360 en Panoptice.
Flujo de trabajo optimizado con Mistika Boutique
A la hora de capturar contenido en 360 , mantener una distancia m nima entre c mara y objetos puede ser problem tico. A pesar de ello, Mistika Boutique permiti a Panoptice ajustar cada c mara en el Stitch Node, proporcionando un equilibrio ptimo entre nitidez y superposici n. El software ayud a acelerar el flujo de trabajo, permitiendo copiar y pegar ajustes preestablecidos de cosido y otros nodos en clips individuales o m ltiples.
Se emplearon las herramientas de VR stitch y sharpen para mejorar el stitching de las im genes e i
