Smooth move 360 deg panoramics 2004-03-09 - By Visual Impact
Back
Thanks for the help Mike,
It seems that the previous setting of "Z=0.300" for ts3 just needed to
be changed to "Z=0.400" for ts6.
The camera's must have changed slightly.
Anyway I'm rendering out some images now, so will let you all know if
this definately fixes it.
Thanks again

John,
For best results with your method, I would suggest you make sure that
your
rendering viewport is also 500x500. Since ts5, the viewport size and
aspect ratio now affects the output render.
You could also try Tom Grimes's Panorama Free shader for shaderlab.
Just
paint a plane with this shader then tell the shader where the camera
should
be. When you render, just show the plane. The resulting image is a
full
360 degree panorama and can be used to texture a sphere or skydome if
that
is easier for you. 3 things to note though; 1, generally the plane
should
not be visible from the camera position otherwise you will see your
plane.
2, some shaders, particularly shaderlab shaders may not show up in the
rendered output. 3, the output is only an approximation of a sphere,
although it should be acceptable for most situations.
