Panini camera projection

[Ash.]

I've tried asking this for Vray but my cries have been unanswered so I'm asking here.

How feasable is this camera projection type: http://hugin.sourceforge.net/docs/manual/The_General_Panini_Projection.html

It allows for bigger camera angles with minimal distortion.

That's actually pretty cool :- ).

I wouldn't hold your tongue to get this any soon, not even fish-eye is in yet. But I am gonna check how this works in PtGui, I presume it should work there too if it's in Hugin.

Haven't tried it yet in software like PTGui or Hugin (I should really, but I always presumed destorting renders like this goes hand in hand with quality loss).

Panini works great in Ptgui, i used it a lot back in my photography days.

it does...but it also has benefits. Lens correction is natural for even highest end lens in photography, and some quality loss due to resampling can actually be quite photographic, one of those 'fakes'.
