Vray Camera Wrap

[Morbid Angel]

Hey everyone. Im trying to render this panarama of my scene. I recall something like an option to render a 360 wrap of your scene...but none of the vray camera options allow you to do it.
Any ideas on how to?

There is a panorama creator / exporter under the utilities panel. Is that what you mean?

haha...thats exectly it...somethings in this software i will never learn...lol
also found that it renders incorrectly with vray camera override

Vray render rollout : Cameras, -> set to spherical -> and set the override Fov to 360 will give you a spherical image to work with.. (Useful for ptviewer.. )

BTW, doesn't look like you can use VFB with the panorama exporter. I'm also wondering if it's ever necessary to pre-render an IR map or Flythru LC or something to get consistent lighting between the 6 images.

I'll have to try Dave's spherical method too.

haha doing that just today. I wanted to create a qtvr but needs heavy photoshop work done to it. And didn't want to tie up my own workstation since you cant netrender the panorama exporter. So I set vray camera to spherical, 360 and rendered it out. As long as your width is 2x your height, it should look fine. I then photoshopped it, set it as environment in max and rerendered using panorama exporter... worked good to say the least. Rendered so damn fast too.

try panotour builder:

it doesn't output QTVR directly but a whole tour of many connected panoramas with an java applet.

..on the other side this project started with the idea to generating a viewindependent Imap for animations:
