CINEVERSITY

Hi NB,

The Spherical Camera is the way to go. Do you use Redshift for the standard Workflow? Equirectangular typically 2:1 ratio, I keep them in a multiple of 1024 pixels. For a dome, you might check if the lower half is needed (ratio 4:1 then) or what dimensions the dome has.

Any postproduction needs evaluation, as many options cannot avoid a seam, as they do not render over the left to the right side (I hope that makes sense.)

I assume you are familiar with the Ae VR tools.

To ask this question so general leaves me very little to say. What do you want or need to change with the equirectangular? In other words, you need to ask more specifically; I have used equirectangular regularly for my "stuff" for over two decades. I'm happy to help, but I need something more specific. What are your delivery requirements?

Cheers

You're very welcome, AlexC.

My best wishes for your project!

Thanks for the extra work, hang-single.

I checked everything I could see in the interface, and nothing is left out on your side from what is visible. I typically ask for a file, as images and videos leave me guessing pretty much constantly. But here, I felt it might be more a limitation or hardware driven. Hardware things are not something I can simulate here for the innumerable combinations that are possible.

What I couldn't see what your color management settings.

I get different results here (I'm on Mac, and I have a different graphic card.), but I also have no option with Redshift while using RS materials.
The Standard material works fine. However, if I switch the color management, it also changes here. This needs more technical attention, which I'm not supposed to provide here; that is the tech support area.

I have tested it with all materials in the scene or only one each time.
To have the same texture in two instances while painting in one might create problems when saving the texture.

Since the Help Content is not limiting the use to Standard Render only, Please have a chat with tech support:

Thanks again for all the effort. I will file my report here. Perhaps you will hear that it is known, and that could be based on your input and my follow-up report.

My best wishes.
