As I’m only using the physical camera for my renders and I would like to know if output image can be any of following formats:
cylindrical, equirectangular, cube faces, cross, T or strip?
I’m interested how to import my renders into application that converts panoramic images into QuickTime VR without using the standard Vray camera when render.
Thank you in advance for any ideas might help
Re: Does Physical camera can support cylindrical, cube faces, cross, T or strip…
The physical camera in our current VfR plugin does not - however, all of the basic camera types will be supported by the physical camera in our next release ( so that would include cylinder, spherical, etc… )

Hey hey Aleks,
how’s it going, my Zen Master?
What exactly do you want to achieve using the Physical Camera?
Maybe there’s a little workaround…

Thanks Joe,
I´m looking for the next release

Hellooo MAT 
I want to make a panoramic view of interior with a physical camera render. A friend suggest me to take 4 shots from middle point of the room in 360 horizontally + 2 additional renders for the ceiling and the floor.. (for this experiemnt cam lens should be at 8 degree, which I think will bring too much distortion..)
Later 6 images should be able to be stitched into one panoramic..
So far this is the only solution I have found and I´m gonna try it..
Re: Does Physical camera can support cylindrical, cube faces, cross, T or strip…
I see no reason to stick at the phys cam for a 360° rendering. The brightness can be controlled per color mapping multiplier too, vignetting and shift are not needed.
Re: Does Physical camera can support cylindrical, cube faces, cross, T or strip…
agree, if you’re using a sun system you could turn down color mapping multiplier as needed.

The thing is that quality of renders done with standard camera is not comparable to one done with physical. Honesty I can’t imagine me doing render again with a standard camera..

Hehe, Aleks…
just share the result, as you know I’m a curious guy!
Another thing you could do: do more than just those six shots. Shoot something like 20 images and some 5 rows with a 20 camera lens in order to minimize distorsion. Then, use a photo stitching software (PanoTools, PTstitcherNG --> Panorama Tools - Browse Files at SourceForge.net http://webuser.hs-furtwangen.de/~dersch/ or similar) to get everything into one piece. How about that?

I never have seen that there is a quality difference (often I use phys cam for shift corrected images and shot panos per default cam) and so much work for a simple panorama that can be rendered in one shot … I don’t know. :-\
