Panorama for Vray Cameras

[EricCamper]

I need to render out a panorama of a scene for a client, but I cant find where to do this....The Render Panorama under utilities won;t let me use a vray camera.

Thanx

[percydaman]

ya its been mentioned several times. You have to use standard cameras for now.

You could always keyframe the physcam to rotate and then stitch it just like real camera.

I am currently also fighting with this one.
Here is my best result, so far:

(*) Create a Standard Camera.
(*) Don't touch any of your lights (VRaySun, or VRayLights) which are set to be OK for your VRayPhyCam.
(*) Just lower the Color Mapping multiplier until you get the same result.
Several tests will bring it to your appeal.
(*) Use the VRay::Camera Override options and render a Spherical Camera with FOV = 360.
(*) DONE !


So far the MAIN disadvantage is:

(*) Keep in mind the WB (White Balance) corrections in your VRayPhyCam. You might need to do those in post in order to get the same result.
(*) Lack of vignetting.

Well you'd hardly want vignetting in a spherical panorama anyway so not that much of a problem

nikki, i developed a solution for this. Let me know if you want to have a look at it

Hi Jacks02,
i would be interested in your solution too, if you would be kind enough to share it.
Thanks

Sure Chris...
But mind i need a 6 side panorama, not a 4 side... a whole 360 degrees one.

Let me know.

Best regards,
