spherical Panorama with Ocean extention

[houourin]

I'm trying to render Spherical Panorama camera with Ocean settings... but it just clips and won't render complitely the surface appears cropped which is obviously not good.

Tried increasing Offscreen margin... but is just not enough and gets slow as hell... while just adding a plane with displacement is a lot faster... but of course that won't have the sim I need....

Any idea?

Hey,

How about if you increase the off-screen margin option in the Rendering rollout?

Note to increase it gradually - try with like 10/20 and so on.. as it will consume more memory.
You can find more about the option here - https://docs.chaos.com/display/PHX4M...endering-Ocean

Tried increasing Offscreen margin... but is just not enough wide even at 500% and gets slow as hell... while just Adding a plane with displacement is a lot faster for instance…. but of course that won't have the sim I need.... just a regular flat ocean.

this is an annoying limitation… I might need to render it in 3 cameras insted of just one.

At what resolution are you rendering? Could it be that is too high and you run out of memory?

It is not that much 4620x1833 , I reduced also the Detail parameters per pixel and the sea roughness at far distance to get faster speeds. still even at 500% I can't fill the viewing angle keeps getting cropped.
The memory seems fine around 38GB peak.

Is it possible to send over the scene via support.chaos.com (submit a request at top right) so that we can check what is going on?

Thanks!
