Hi!
I created a 360 image with depthmap in Generative AI. Now I want to use it as the background of the project. I use the 3D skybox sphere to load that image. But the problem is I can't align the floor with the image. Can anyone please suggest a way to align the floor with the image? Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem.

Camera: in Transform:

Move:

X 0.000 Y 0.000 Z 0.000, then move Up on Z, for exemple 180.000 is roughly 1.80m from the floor.

Rotate:

Z 90.000 Y 0.000 Z 90.000

Then the problem arises if we want to animate the camera, my best way so far, only move/rotate on Z.

It's not perfect but it's possible to get a decent result.
Cheers

Hi I am using free 360 degree AI generated sky boxes

from “blockade labs” in iclone for my current film project.

You have to be creative with your camera angles

by keeping your shot in tight on the characters and try to avoid shooting below the knees as much as possible

I Just completed my first 10 minute episode on only 11 days.

Hi, me too among others like with my own 360 camera.
I like your video.:)

Great work! It's just awesome.
I also created my 360 skybox in Blockadelabs.
By the way is your animated video "GHOST ORIGINS" rendered in iClone?

Yes this is a pure Iclone 7 project.
Iclone actually has a decent toon render engine if one is willing to learn its features.

I appreciate your hard work. It's just amazing. This is the best video I have ever seen rendering in native iClone renderer. :rolleyes::Wow:

Thanks @dassoubarna

Actually I am quite surprised at the NPR/toon capabilities of Iclone.

you will have to use “simplified” traditional textures to get the best results ( avoid PBR or DHS)

I even created a few custom ones for those “Anime eyes”

The big gamer changer for me though are these free AI generated 360 degree skyboxes from Blockadelabs.

using them saves me alot of time because I realized the utter folly of using huge scene choking set models

when most of my scenes have simple backgrounds with the option of simple camera panning when needed.

(BTW if that was you who requested access to our private facebook group I have approved you so

may start posting anytime )
