Hello, Running more than one render application (3dsmax, AfterEffects, ...) which is able to use all CPUs on a PC could cause performance problems. So none of...
We just finished up a fulldome project for the Buhl here in Pittsburgh, their "Traveler's Guide to Mars" show... lot's of motion capture astronauts walking...
You should also have a look at the RenderManager made by C.A.I. System in Berlin/Germany. Sorry, don't remember the name. Thomas Kumlehn PIXEL PARTNER® 0177 /...
I've recently been expeirmenting with a commodity digital video camera and fisheye lens, testing the particular combination as a way of capturing fulldome...
Not sure if this will get though the moderation process :-) but I was wondering about the origin of the fulldome logo on this groups page, the half circle...
... Well, the moderator created the logo, so I don't suppose the moderator would get in the way of talking about it. :) The logo results from all of about ten...

We've been using Rush by Greg Ercolano/Seriss for a number of years at the Hayden and have been very happy with it. We're managing over 50 render nodes. ...
Any other live-action capture experiments like Paul Bourke's recent posting? I'd like to feature them in my quarterly Digital Fronteirs column in the IPS...

Hi Everyone, My name is Sean Cawelti and I run the Outreach programming at the California Science Center. We are new members to this group and so far it's...
A lot of current video standards have been developed by the MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY. IMAX and Omimax also have their own formats and cameras. So isn't it more...
The problem is (almost) nobody is designing a square sensor. I had the chance to make tests (not fulldome, but regular tests with even a 8mm Nikon lens) with...
... The challenge in a dome is filling the hemispheric field of view with acceptable resolution imagery. There are solutions for lower resolution projection...
... From the creative side, if budget is limited, I would suggest capturing only still imagery in the fulldome format with a respectably hi-Mp camera/fisheye...
Hi, You´re right. We´re the only ones besides some scientific research who needs a square sensor! I had the chance to test the PhantomHD (2kx2k) and I was...
