Hi Yuv,

Thanks for the links. Enfuse is shaping up to be quite a useful  
alternative to the "bracket->mergetoHDR->tonemap" dance. Below is a  
link to a few recent QTVRs shot in the abandoned Don Valley  
Brickworks in Toronto. It took 8 exposures (2 ev steps) to capture  
the range of light in the dark, and just blending the exposures  
directly with Enfuse gave me great results. No HDRs needed! (Although  
I made them for my 3D work all the same...)

Check them out here (made with ippei's Enfuse 3 on OS X, via Xblend):

Comments on the quality of the results (and the panoramas) is  
appreciated. Enfuse handled the glowing beams of light and overall  
wide range quite admirably, IMHO.
