Vray camera STmap

[Brad_M]

hiya

Just wondering if there is an different step required for using the physical camera and an stmap to drive distortion than in maya? I hooked up the same exr that works with maya into the stmap pipe in nuke with the same camera and all of the same physical camera settings ( or any settings for that matter) and it just goes black. Quadratic and cubic work but as soon as the texture slot is filled it just goes black.

Ok thanks for the update

Was there a version in the nightlies that did work or has this not been functional yet?

Not that i am aware of, but it hasn't been functional yet.

how is the VRscene node working form maya to nuke?

It's pretty good... So far its worked better than in 3.0. I mostly used proxy's but I might start using scenes more now.

I hope stmaps are functional soon... I have a show right now with 5X overscan un/redistorted the old fashion way. Its a real pain. Rendering distorted at resolution in Nuke with our stmaps would be so much better.

You can also cach nuke partical ( with geo partical said) to rhe Vray scen with the translator and play it back with the Vrscene node. I love that function

Yes... I forgot to mention it, but the fine Chaos folks looked at it for us last week. It's been working perfectly!
Great support as always!
