Fisheye camera not working with physical camera

[stevesideas]

Hi,

Im experimenting with the fisheye lens under the camera settings.

Through the physical camera it wont show anything different from the standard camera, but when I click over to perspective view it renders out the fish eye correctly...any ideas what im doing wrong ?

Thanks

Steve

the physical camera overrides all of the camera settings in your render section. if you want fisheye you need to use the distortion on the vray camera

Thankyou so much....

So how do i get the box or cylinder lens...do I have to use a standard or perspetive viewport ? seems a bit strange if that is the case

I asked the same question about a year ago, before I thought this through...

You cannot use box or cylinder, or sphere for that matter in the Vray physical camera. Think like in real-life where you cannot do a 360 degree panorama with your DSLR in one shot. You would need to have a wide angle or fisheye lens, take several shots, and stitch them together.

Use standard camera, select box or cylinder camera type, and adjust your exposure the old-school way with color correct settings. Or do it the incorrect old-school way and turn down the sun
