  • Tilt/Shift Match Problem

    I have a scene where I need to match the tilt-shift from a physical camera. I received photo tests, one with the camera pitched and without tilt-shift correction, and another with the tilt-shift lens used to correct the issue.

    Using Modo I matched the virtual cameras to the physical camera during the design phase. Using Modo's Film Offset Y setting, I was able to put in the precise tilt-shift settings from the photographer to get a match.

    Now in Max/V-Ray, I imported the Modo camera, made the necessary adjustments while establishing a vray camera and matched the camera without tilt-shift.

    But I cannot match the tilt-shift corrected lens since V-Ray corrects the tilt-shift without altering the perspective like a real tilt-shift lens does. So the V-Ray camera vertical shift feature works great until you're trying to simulate a real tilt-shift lens.

    I tried matching it in conjunction with vertical offset, but to no avail, and that's complicated by those settings being based on a ratio of the current view, nor do I see that lining up.

    Appreciate any ideas how to deal with this?

      Thanks Tashko. I've emailed three example scenes, a Maya and Modo scene where the camera is setup as required and matching the real tilt-shift lens with the identical settings, and the MAX scene where I could not make the match.

          Chaos Group fixed it in a nightly build. It appears it was the file name designated as build 23501 released November 15th. It did work; I have no idea if the fix persisted beyond that build.
