CAMERA 360 System (Blueprints)

[ElizzaRF]

Hello ElizzaRF, I'm successfully calculating a long animation (18000 frame). After 2 days of calculation, Unreal crashed! How can I restart the animation from that point? I'm using the screen shot system and I would like to be able to restart the animation with a delay to avoid calculating everything. The clouds and other moving objects on stage, start their animation again if I move the green key frame in the sequencer. thank you very much

Good day, alb3360!
Yes, you are right sometimes the Unreal engine can fail. But there is a solution.
1. Please Uncheck value ScrheenShotRec in actor Camera 360.
2. Play your scene, and at the right time, press R button (Manual starting record).
Do not forget to specify a new folder, otherwise you will overwrite the old files.

I managed to automate the connection to the configured sequencer cameras.
This makes it easier for those who have configured the project with cameras in the sequencer.
Now I’ll check what errors may be fixes.

News 12/09/2019. New update 1.13 fix 5.
Added the ability to use the correct anti-aliasing TemporalAA.



In the project settings (Edit -> Project Settings -> Rendering) , Anti-Aliasing the TemporalAA smoothing method should be selected.



Now you can disable and enable anti-aliasing if required in option Camera_Rec_360 actor.

Hi! I understood you. I saw a letter. Now I’ll check everything and write to you later.

Good day!
I managed to find a problem where TemporalAA smoothing did not work. Now I’ll check everything, if everything goes well, there will be anti-aliasing in the new update.

[ElizzaRF]

hello, thanks for the help! Yes I set these parameters but I still have that cartoon effect. if we solve it I would be very happy ... The scene is very light and changes from the images I sent you, but I have the same problems! I'm sending you the file with wetransfer. regards

Have you tried setting up the camera like in this video?

To avoid seams, Post Processing settings are applied.
Settings Post Process for Camera 360:
1. Vignete: 0
2. Exponecial Heigh Fog : Volumetric Fog Off
3. Ambient Occlusion: 0
4. ScreenSpaceReflection: 0
5. Bloom: 0

Camera 360 settings: Aspect Ratio: 1:1
Output: Frames: 3614 frames
Rendering time: ~ 1 hour 33 minutes
Rendering 1 frame: ~ 1-2 second
Render Target Texture (Quality): 4096 Px.
Size Output Image: JPG, 7680x7680

I very often apply quality to get 8K and 4k video.

Do you have the opportunity to direct me a small scene so that I can conduct experiments to achieve the best smoothing quality? Link to the project, please send by personal mail. Mail: Lenina62-ivan@mail.ru Do not worry about confidentiality, after help, I delete projects.

I would also like to see the settings of the 360 camera. Can you send me an image?

I will find some resource to check possible anti-aliasing options. I will write to you later.

Good day, alb3360!

I can’t see the images, maybe they were downloaded with an error.

Can you repeat and attach the images?

Sorry...

hello, I followed your instructions and activated raytracing.
I use an RTX 2080 but I still have the cartoon effect using the temporalAA filter.

I am attaching two partial screenshots of the image at 100% of the size:

[alb3360]

Thank you, I'm glad you like the plugin. Do you have an example scene? It would help me a lot and I would check everything.
If you set the temporary AA mode, your picture will be blurred.
MSAA allows you to get a clear picture.

You can try to use Temporal AA, but with the HighResShot System, I added a new feature in it.
You need to tick raytracing.
