... Jeff, my new LadyBug-3 has arrived, we could do some tests if are ever over this way. Standard resolution from this is 5400x2700, fisheyes from this stood...
Hi all, Jeff Skinner here, thought I might stand up and say "Greetings from Broome, Western Australia!" (Far NW Oz - see the film 'Australia') Intro and a...
It's that time of the year again and here's a link to our annual holiday image... have a good one! http://www.homerunpictures.com/holidaygreetings2009/ ...
Invitation to Submit The Jena Zeiss-Planetarium will host the 4th FullDome Festival from May 4th to 8th, 2010. The organizers invite all fulldome producers to...
If you think about the process we go through to get an image up on the dome, you have to laugh... render, stitch to circle, slice to provide the specific...
... Mine uses straightforward supersampling so final quality is dependent on the processing time you can afford .... I'd be surprised (but then I often am) if...
The two approaches have other differences as well. Although the placement of pixels in finished frames of stitched or fisheye rendered can end up being...
... In case anyone is wondering why there can be a performance difference between fisheye and cubic maps ... one reason is that a clever renderer (raytracer or...
LivinGlobe is producing a 30 min. fulldome film called „Cosmic Dance". For that we need some additional fulldome footage of • Big Bang • Creation of the...
Just a note about stitching, there are other 5-camera stitching programs available that DO support alpha channels. During production on "Tales of the Maya...
I totally agree with this comment. Just use what works for you for any particular scene. It's our approach. The real goal is to get a visually effective...
Hi Cyril, To be honest, we do not have experience with fisheye cams within 3ds max. I believe it works just fine. But i think the 5-cam-rig had some advantages...
It's a trade-off. The fisheye method is slower, but virtually guarantees that all effects will render correctly, and can be more accurate. The multiple camera...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Dear all, Some of you were asking us where to see our latest fulldome production live at a planetarium … … now we are proud to announce the public release...
Hello, Read with interest some recent posts about where to rent FD shooting kits based around Canon 5DMk2's. You may be interested to know, as per my previous...
Hello, What about rental? Are there any places one can rent full-dome equipment from? Ladybug and RED look appealing but too expensive to own Thanks, Axel...
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 -...
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...
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...
