Rounded Camera Clipping

(1/2) > >>

Naxos:
Hello there,

It would be very usefull to have a "rounded" camera clipping, or even better, a "freeform / spline-shaped" camera clipping.

In Archviz, we always want some nice camera views, but very often we have to play with Tilt&Shift, clipping and position to find the unique millimeter that let us get the picture we need :
more clipping value : the objects are couted-out; less clipping and the walls/floor/ceiling are photo-bombing into the picture.

I'd love to get some rarc-rounded camera clipping, so i can put my camera behind a corner, bu get the scene fully rendered.

And even better, the carema clipping following a spline, a bit like in architectural cuts that are not always straits, but are following some polylines.

Please see attached pictures.

I think Corona Slicer should handle situations like this, isn't?

Not really, as i don't need the objects to be cuted-out, as light may differ.
Of course i could use a combination between SlicerMtl and Rayswitch to have objects that are participating to th GI, but not visibles. But a feature to manager directly the camera clipping could be very usefull.

Regards

[EDIT] : also, if i have plenty of objects, i have to manage all of them with Slicer / Rayswitch... (for ex. walls, windows, handle, floor, ceiling, baseboard...)

Naxos:
Tested it, it could work with only walls, but as you see in the screenshot, the windows are not seen in reflections.

I would have to manage one slicer per object/mtl, with include/exclude lists...

So, really more easy and usefiull a shaped camera cliping.

romullus:
I don't think you'd need to hassle with all the objects separately, AFAIK slicer cuts through everything, unless you choose to exclude certain objects from it. Rayswitcher setup also shouldn't be big challenge and most certainly easier to work than with likely limited and/or complicated tool in camera settings.  That's just my 2 cents, i'm not trying to convince anybody that Slicer is the only possible solution to the problem.
