Title: Camera shift-tilt
Post by: Alessandro on 2013-05-03, 10:06:04: I find Corona very useful for photographic renders. In photography often we use to vertically or horizontally shift the camera to have the view we need. It should be great to have this capability in the camera modifier of Corona.

(tested and worked ;) )

Why use the correct camera in animation? I think it's just for architectural rendering in static need.

Then create a scena and submit it as a bug ;)

I know i don't use it in animation, it was just a test for a little fast animation i did ;)

Post by: Captain Obvious on 2013-05-21, 19:44:51: It would be nice with a dedicated real fix to this. The tilt-shift corrector in Max produces results which are incompatible with other software, so it is actually impossible to match this to the shift in Maxwell or modo or what have you, or indeed even real cameras. A real shift lens basically just offsets the image horizontally or vertically. There needs to be settings for film offset, either in mm or as a fraction of the film size. Simply removing the angular distortion like this is not a good method. This is a feature I would consider crucial for arch viz.
