Title: Fisheye lens
Post by: Adi on 2015-07-03, 10:07:10
Hello guys , is it possible to render a fisheye images with corona ?

Something like this : http://s1186.photobucket.com/user/dmc1965/media/65_fisheye_sample1_fs.jpg.html

I searched through the forum and i found out about spherical rendering but that's not what i need :)

You can render from a camera facing a mirror ball, or through an actual glass lens. :)

haha creative :) mirror ball is an option but i get my camera visible in the reflection :P

I wonder if anybody actually tried rendering through the glass :)

Just tested sphere method works perfectly even the rendertime doesent hurt much.

Actually it should be quite opposite - you can't get picture without DOF with this method :]
