Hi Ed, do you know if anyone has used Immersive Media's footage in a dome before? And what do you think would be the best tool to convert the 360degree...
Has anyone used this camera with a fisheye like the Sigma 8mm to capture dome video? What did you think? I know the resolution (1080p) is fairly small in the...
When I was at Elumens, we did work out a way to view IM content on a dome, and Jason Coposky (one of my colleagues at the Renaissance Computing Institute) has...
Folks, Attached is a nice article about our school based planetarium network. This article was in the Nov/Dec Minnesota School Boards Association Journal...
Although we haven't used it for video on the dome here, we have used the 5d mkII extensively for other applications (including flat video). I'm not sure...
Hi! I have some footage shot with Mk2 and Sigma. It shots in *.mov, but it stills heavy to transfer. I can upload something to Sendspace. Here is a exmple: ...
Thanks for the info. Is there a better alternative for dome video filming than the Canon Sigma combo anywhere near the same price range? The Red looks awesome...
... I have some test footage from Peter Morse, even on the iDome (single projector and spherical mirror) the image quality is less than the iDome can support. ...
the fisheye crop on my Nikon D300 with the comparable sigma 4.5mm for DSLRs is much less than the full raster its around 1950 pixels from a 2880 wide chip... ...
Hi all, We have not used the 5D MkII, but do use the Nikon D90 which shoots 720p, and holds up pretty well for smaller 1 and 1.5 k systems. I'd have to bet...
as nice as it is to have HD video on DSLRs, they still have dreadful compression artifacts which means you'll get banding in skys as well as the notorious...
Friends, I'm writing to spread the word: Eurographics 2010 is highlighting fulldome as a program area. The conference is hosted by Linköping University's...
Thanks for everyone's responses. The rolling shutter effect does look like an issue on the Canon. Difficult to say how bad it would be without trying it...
Not as far as I can see. The RED is the only camera capable of the resolution that you might need, but you need lots of $$$. The 5D MkII is remarkable though -...

Hello Fulldomer's I am trying to render a scene in 3d max that has a light with a lens effect glow (to create a sun object). When I try to render it out, I get...
Hey, we only use one projector in a 40 to 50 foot dome using a mirror! (and a nice bright projector). Excellent choice for a planetarium that wants to upgrade...
My 3ds max skills are a little rusty, but I've been doing similar effects in Blender. Have you been able to do this effect in 3ds before, or is this your first...
Hi Amy, I guess you're using MentalRay as renderer. But Mr won't support max's atmosphere effects.(as far as i know) So you can delete the lens effect from the...
Sounds like you are trying to render something that is not supported by the specific renderer you are using... are you using the default 3ds renderer or a...
Hello group, My name is Dietmar Thal and i'm a media student at the Bauhaus university in Weimar/Germany. Together with my fellow colleagues we made the short...
You are a gift from heaven ! Thank you very much for this plug. Usually I don't use 5 cameras but a fish eye camera w/mental ray, vray or final render. Are you...
