wrapped spherical camera

[themaxxer]

hi all

I don't find any explanation of this camera effect in the vray help...!
anyone knows how it works?

best regards

It works similar to the spherical camera, but uses the formula that was originally used by the 1.09 versions of V-Ray. Since some people have found it useful, it is there as an option.

the differences being that instead of a 2:1 image aspect (say 2000x1000pixels) you would render the wrapped one at 1:1 (2000x2000) and scale the image down/up to 2:1 to get to a normal Lat/Long panorama..

it seems to work well for say, cylindrical qtvr's.. /shrug that probably doesn't make sense, but i only remember because i had to render out something like 360 different panoramas for this one job a while back lol.
