camera distortion

[jccloutier]

I have a VrayPhysicalCamera with a 0.8 value for distortion (I need it to line up with the BG) but every time I render, it renders without the distortion and the model no longer lines up with the BG.

 

What's the deal?

I would render it with no background - then in photoshop insert your background because it's easier to line it up. Render your image at the same size as your background.

You have 3 options...

 

1 - Undistort the BG, line it up to that, render it distorted, and then when you comp the two together use the orginal plate

2 - Don't distort the camera, comp the two and distort the two together.

3 - undistort the BG, line it up to that, render it undistorted and then when you comp it distort the two together.

 

1 is best, 3 after that, and 2 is ok.

Thanks guys, I'll play with those concepts.
