script for export of panoramas as sphere-immages ?

[tom schuelke]

Hi i wanted to render out an animated sky out of max, with the panorama tool, to be able to use it later in animations, for animated clouds and so on.

works fine so far, but the problem is, the panoramaexporter only renders out one single frame , so i would have to do frame by frame manualy.

Does anyone of you know a workaround ?

any script arround ?

eh.. vray render - camera properties -> change to spherical / fov = 360 and then render it as animation ..frame 0 to whatever

Hi Dschaga...

Thanks...

but i am not using vray for this... shame on me or rather on eon-software, cause vue-xstream that i need for this only supports mentalray..


buuuuhhhh


It would be great to see vray integrated to vue6 ore other way round...

Hi Dschaga

i am allways surprised what a great knowledgebase this is.. many thanks.. it works..


only thing, what sort of unwrap does this produce ? is it a spherical unwrap or a cylindrical or a shrink wrap ?
