Nuke Cam Projection Question

Hi there,

we have shot giga pixel 360 panos of landscapes and want to do camera projections now in Nuke. With a single view without rotating the camera
i have done nice projections already but how to model in a 3D sotware if you want rotate (up to 360 degrees) and move the camera around in such a projected environment? Just by paning the flat image projected on a geometry i cannot match the greenscreen plates. What is the best practice doing this kind of stuff in Nuke? Model the geo in a 360 full circle and then re-project.

Hope my question is clear, i have a matchmoved camera from PFTrack from a action sequence shot on a greenscreen stage and have to comp these fighters into a virtual environment shot with a 16 Nikon camera rig and want extend my Nuke camera (matched from PFTrack) to freely fly around in a camera projected environement.

Color matching fire and explosion

i m not having trouble color matching footages generally but when it comes to fire, explosion or any thing that have like "one type of color" ( blood too, stuff like that ) then i have problem eyeballing a good believable match. Explosion won’t look like anyother stuff in the BG plate so the channel method is not suitable. Well if anyone got some tips about matching unusual stuff that have to pop up but still beliavable is welcome.

Regards
J.
