Making some progress here.
I setup 6 cameras like so...
All cameras have 18mm lens
1) Inserted a camera at 0,0,0. then lifted it on the Y axis to 90. Let's call it North Camera
2) Angled the camera up 25 degrees.
3) Added another camera at same location and angled it down 25. (north down camera)
this gives a good coverage angle of the scene in front...almost like a large fisheye
4) then set up East up/down pair, West up/down pair and South up/down pair
What I'd been lazy to do which I will do now is add a nadir (top) and Zenith (bottom camera)
Attached is the pano stitched from the 8 images via PTGUI. As it looks encouraging, I'll probably buy the software.
What I wanted to know is:
Is there a script that will trigger rendering of all cameras in an iclone scene? I'm not well versed in scripting so haven't ventured into iclone scripting.
Will update this thread as progress is made.
Regards.
