Panorama in Corona render

[Tanakov]

Dont want to create a new topic, but Im wondering if there is an option for Camera clipping in Corona. Or if you can give me a hint on how to do that :P

[johan belmans]

Yes there is, in Max you can add a CORONACAMMOD on top of your Max camera

Yes, but was it added in some newest build? So far I have

Basic Settings and DOF there, not clipping.

[johan belmans]

Strange, in Alpha 5 I can clip me camera

[Tanakov]

Can you show me a screen? I must be missing someting.

[johan belmans]

Here you are.

Make sure to set the clipping planes first in your default MAx camera (so you see the effect in the Viewport.
Use exact the same values in the CoronaCameraMod to see the effect in the render.

cheers

My camera mod has tottaly different options, funny thing tho I just used the normal camera clipping and somehow this time it worked. I had to messup my settings.

Damn,  sorry for the problem, yet I do not have that option that you do.

I generaly re made the whole Corona scene to Vray just to have clipping, and now It turns out that my settings were wrong  not the corona the clipping - FML

Thanks for your replies.

So, we don't have an option were we can do Spherical Camera with 360 FOV like on vray, right?

Not sure if I am missing something here

[romullus]

Not yet.
It would be sweet, though. Togeteher with curved focal plane.

Back on the Corona forum after some time, any news of a hemispherical cam yet?

[borisquezadaa]

Hi.
The hemisferical cam is available from some time now in corona v7. Grab it like is hot.

Just add a CoronaCamMod modifier over your camera and you are set. Hemisferical and cilindrical.

Just remember to render 2 width by 1 heigth  for 360 panos.

[jonathank]

Oh!  That sounds awesome, just to clarify, hemispherical is 180 degrees which is a 1:1 image. Equiangular is 2:1 and 360 degrees.  Fulldome is typically a 180 image.

[borisquezadaa]

Sorry... my mistake. Only Spherical and cylindrical by now.

[jonathank]

aarrgggghhhh  You've just shattered my dreams!

[romullus]

It's rather easy to change projection from equirectangular to hemispherical in hugin or other software. One can use carefuly placed region render with Corona just to not render what's unnecessary.
Ofcourse one button solution would be welcome, but i guess it won't happen soon.
