CAMERA 360 System (Blueprints)

[ElizzaRF]

NEWS 10.21.2020 Added mode FullDome180:
Added Dome 180 mode for Camera Rec 2D and Camera Point 2D.

[ElizzaRF]

NEWS 10.19.2020 A new small update is already available today:

The update affected a different camera that allows you to use Planar Reflection, Anti-Aliasing, DOF, Raytracing. it allows you to load the system less when rendering, since it uses a standard camera for rendering 360 images.

Changes:
Fixed actors Camera Rec 2D and Camera Point 2D.

Note:
-Movie Render Pipeline and Sequencer rendering not working;
-Limit image 16384 px;
-Using HighResShot system.

How to use it?
1. Added to scene two actors: Camera Rec 2D and Camera Point 2D (Camera_360\Blueprints\Camera Rec 2D and Camera Point 2D)
All settings in Camera point 2D

2. ScreenShot Size X and Y = recomended 2500-3000px(limit 16384). The higher the value, the clearer the image, but the rendering time will also be long. This is the size of a single frame that will be added to the final 360 image.
3. ScreenShot Size 360 X and 360 Y = recomended 7680x3840 and more (Limit 16384). This is the size of the final image 360.

Hot Jey:
Input key M -> ScreenShot;
Input Key R = Record.

Fast start, for testing (Demo Map):
Open Camera_360\Maps\Demo_scene_Camera2D_rec

I will write more detailed information and tutorial today.

Example: Full Image Google drive. 14000 px.

Example working Planar Reflection:

Hello, I have hooked up the RayTracing as instructed. It now looks better in editor (360 cam preview) but when I go to render I always get a crash.( Attached): Running on a 2080TI 64 ram, and latest processor 16 cores. Thoughts what might be causing this other than the scene itself?

Hi, CrrativeVilla!

Tell me, what settings do you use? Settings for post-process (ray tracing options) and the quality and output of the Rec 360 camera.
Tutorial Full Raytracing https://youtu.be/-8AwDtmkyHY
If you used sequencer or movie render pipeline, and result crash engine.
Try using next solution:

1. Select Camera Rec 360
2. Quality = 2600 for begin, if working, next 3000 and next and next.
3. Screenshot system -
Rec - True
Delay - 5 sec
Raytracing - true
And play your level.

Hi, CreativeVilla!

I see two possible reasons:
1. Disable Light Shafts at the sun;
2. Post process -> Bloom = 0. https://forums.unrealengine.com/unre...e3#post1612799
3. ScreenSpaceReflection = 0 -> there will be seams, you need to use Reflection Raytracing https://youtu.be/1K5wdTGA9VU or baked reflections, sphere reflection or box reflection.

Thanks ElizzaRF , the problem was the resolution, passing it at like 4096x2048 solved the issue.

nyudeb, I am glad that a solution has been found Thank you for your purchase

Hello, I'm using your plugin for VRStereo180 and I have a problem with the antialiasing mode TemporalAA. I got some noise and I don't know how to remove them, here is my camera settings. Is there a solution to have a nice anti aliasing ? (without using MSAA, this one is working but I want to use TemporalAA if it's possible.)

Hi, nyudeb!
Try change next settings:
1. Quality(TextureSize) = 4096px or more. Example 5000px.
2. Output Size = 10000x5000px.

Hello! So far so good.. but then I got this happening (attached) I previously deleted my post processes because I thought they might be causing this.. but its still there. Any idea what might be causing this hard line issue? Thanks!

Hi, Lutz0815!

Please look your post process. I think this post process bloom or vignette. Need change value to 0.
https://forums.unrealengine.com/unre...78#post1599178 and this https://forums.unrealengine.com/unre...99#post1612799

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).

Hello, I have this error above and below. The 360 panorama doesn't fit together properly. I have the same error with the demo videos on youtube too.

Hi, Can't we use Left and Right eye anymore?

Previously, it was possible to select the left eye rendering, then select the right eye rendering. But this mode has incorrect stereo, so we added two modes with correct stereo.And the right eye rendering mode was excluded. Stereo 360 (Omni) and Stereo(Panoramic)

More information new Stereo modes.
https://forums.unrealengine.com/unre...21#post1768616

https://youtu.be/SqQtM1xZFrE?t=378 — New stereo modes, please look.

Solution 1.
If you need large images, you can now use the Movie Render Pipeline in the 4.25 engine
https://youtu.be/a_vp7b5Blyg

Solution 2. if used Sequencer.
In any version of the engine, you can bypass the restrictions on the size of output images


SequencerSettings (Separate Process, and command -RESX=10000 -RESY=10000 (Max Limits — 16000px).

Solution 3. Using HighResShot system
https://youtu.be/J7uEiOhkH8o

Don't forget to increase the Quality(Experimental) ~ 4096 px in Camera Rec 360

hey there, I have a 360 stereo screenshot recording set up going on. In one scene I have a black hole that is a post process material. For some reason even with custom render and full post process stuff set up, I only get the effect on the top frame and not the bottom. Any suggestions?

Hi, Starkium!
I didn't find a problem. Let me know what your problem is.
Used 360 Stereo (Omni) or Stere 360 (Experimental) -> working.
