    **Important/Additional Notes: **
    Some Post processing does not work, artifacts appear in the form of seams.
  • Vignette = 0 (In Post Process);
  • Bloom = 0 (In Post Process);
  • ScreenSpace Reflection = 0 (In Postprocess);
  • HeighFog and atmospheric fog workig , but if used -> Volumetric Fog -> Long rendering time, or maybe seams.
  • Directional Light - Light Shafts Off;
  • Exposure (Sometimes due to the uneven distribution of exposure occurs in the seam. Try to adjust the check Exposure method Manual and change Exposure value).
  • Ambient Occlusion (Sometimes).
  • Screen Space Global Illumination (Beta) - There are seams. You need to disable it.

**Known issue: **

  • Stereo mode 360-when rotated 180 degrees, the image looks inverted. It seems the Left eye and right are swapped, as this is a recorded video.
    I will try, if possible, to fix it in updates.
  • -Stereo 360 Experimental - Fixes the problem of turning the head. But there are artifacts. (Link information)
  • New Update for 4.23-4.25 added support 360 stereo, add mode and using Stereo Panoramic mode)
  • Unreal Engine 4.22. When raytracing mode is activated Raytracing Global illumination the plugin works, but very very slowly. A request was made to answerhub in the bug report of the engine. https://answers.unrealengine.com/que…0113/view.html . In the future, a new mode for working with ray tracing may be added.
    Received a response from the developers:
    This is something that is expected. Since the scene capture is running ray tracing on a resolution dictated by the render target, scaling it up and down will have an immediate impact on performance. it is directly proportional to the number of pixels, so a change in texture resolution from 1024x1024 → 2048x2048 will cause the ray tracing passes to increase 4X. RTGI in its current implementation is slow and very expensive. Keep in mind Ray Tracing is under active development so things may change as improvements are implemented with each engine verison.

this could be a game changer for our production…curious about what other post processing it can’t do. Looks amazing!

#3

Thank you for your interest.
Soon I will make a list of post processing, which is not recommended to include in the project.

News.
In next update will added VR180 Mono and Stereo mode (Side By Side). Now there is a stage of testing.

Preview update 1.1. https://youtu.be/NjkYVUFWyCs

  1. Corrected 2D stereo mode to side by side:
    example: https://youtu.be/ZtGj3HhO87Y
  2. Added VR180 Mono and Stereo mode (Side By Side)

[FONT=comic sans ms]**Known issues, artifacts (unreal Engine 4 rendering specifics) **

  1. Objects that are very close to the camera that is capturing can cause divergence which makes it hard for a user to focus on the 3D image. Be careful with objects that get too close to the camera as this will cause divergence. While in some cases image divergence will not be possible to avoid, thinking about your camera placement can help lessen the effect. The following video shows how you can have different levels divergence in your images.
  2. Not All effects works:
    -AtmosphericFog, Fog (Sometimes visible seams (depending on the strength of the effect);
    -ScreenSpace Reflection (Sometimes visible seams).
    -volumetric light (Sometimes visible seams)

This message will be updated, as well as images.

Currently experiencing some very dark frames from the output. Occasionally one frame comes out at the correct exposure but for the most part they are unusable. I have turned off all post processing and exposure controls. Any idea what could be causing this?

#8

Can you show the video what you can’t do?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eQJ-pKaYzE - quick tutorial setup camera

Can you send me Your scene with settings?
In which You have something does not work. I’ll check it out.

I just recorded a video. Work with postprocessing. The actor was attached to point 360.
Waiting uploaded youtube 5-10 min. And see this video postprocess https://youtu.be/1gVYSt7LGMU

Waiting uploaded 1-2 hours uploaded on youtube:
360 Mono mode + PostProcessing (No ScreenSpaceReflection) (render target 2048 px) : https://youtu.be/LzgZWd1OP0M
360 Mono mode + PostProcessing + ScreenSpaceReflection (render target 2048 px): https://youtu.be/JPoE_r5r9AY

The video shows that the 360 point does not accept the post-process. But, if we attach the camera to a Point_360, or on a Rec_360 actor put in a post-processing area, everything starts to work.

Please write, did it help you to solve your question?

#10

Thanks for your response…we are still analyzing our scene…I assume that it is some settings on our level, we will keep you updated! Thanks for your demo with the post processing, we will add this to our process.

#11

I Hear you. If you have any questions, write. WE will find a solution =)

Frequently asked question:
Appearance of artifacts in heavy scenes, how to minimize the number?
Answer: Such artifacts usually appear due to lack of video memory.
There are several ways:
**Method 1. **You need to check the boxes in the sequencer. In this case, the editor will close and start rendering in a separate window. This will reduce the memory load.

Editor_mode.jpg1075×854 201 KB

**Method 2. **

  1. You can render each eye separately. 360 Mono Left and 360 Mono Right.
    Then you will combine your results in post-production.This will reduce the memory load.

Method 3.
There is manual mode. I noticed that there are fewer artifacts in this mode than in the sequencer. But You need to check.

Editor_mode3.jpg990×620 173 KB

**Method 4. **Try changing the display mode. Jpg, Png.

Method 5. You can adjust the resolution of render Target Texture textures, the default is 2048.

Method 6. Replace the graphics card (this is a last resort).

If none of the methods helped you. I can create another way of rendering. It will be designed for weak machines.

**Bottom and top of the dark seams? **
This post-processing works, but you need to turn off the vignette. And the dark areas will disappear.

this is the capture of sky sphere top seams. No atmospheric; no postprocess.
Thank you.

#15

Can you send me a scene?
Even if the post processing isn’t on the scene. Usually post process the default is 0.5, you need to set to 0.
Be sure to put the zone post process and specify the value of the Vignette 0
Tell me, did the solution help you?

this thread will help you understand how your technique is incorrect and is equal to the left side in the linked reference image. causing reversed stereo when looking 180 from the cameras original position at export.
I’m just trying to help you. I’m a professional stereographer, and see people hit this wall often.
I would highly recommend you remove 3D from 360. It’s false with your technique currently.

#17

Is there a step by step tutorial or documents for using it with Sequencer - I saw the matinee one but I already have a camera move in Sequencer and want to use all those animations - how do i render out ? and can u change the output directory to not be where the project is - this is a serious bummer if you have to render then move your files all the time - not to mention not being able to render to faster drives

#18

Good day!
Excuse me. I haven’t been notified of your message.
Is it late?
My codes work with the sequencer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eQJ-pKaYzE
Also, You can open the test level and see how the settings are made in it.

You can render to any directory on any disk using the sequencer.

If Nothing helps, I will record a new video lesson for You personally. Let me know, Did my decisions help you?

#19

Thank you for your interest in my product and found the problem. You’re right about something. I’ll add this to the description of known issues.

I think to buy or not to buy, it is everyone’s business. But maybe I’ll try to do another update over time if I can.

I will read the article. Thank you very much. It will be very helpful!

#20

You can personally send me or record a video that You can not or send a test scene.
I can look at Your project and tell you what might not work or explain the solution.

**1. For example, **You have a camera that works through a sequencer, namely the entire animation.
All you have to do is select Actor Camera Point 360 and in the Target All Transform row select your camera.

Then camera point 360 will take all the movements from your one camera.

2. Then, in the main level, as in the lessons, specify that the main camera was the actor’s camera rec 360.

**3. In the sequencer, **You can save Your movie anywhere. On any disk, in any directory.
