Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hi,
running a V3 Demo, in the cylindrical lens option i didn’t find a way to setup a vertical FOV. Didn’t see a parameter for it. Checked a few points but wasn’t giving me control of vertical FOV yet:

* Changing the x-y size relation in the render resolution.

* Focal Length is grayed out, guess it’s replaced by the Angle parameter for the horizontal FOV.

* The Angle parameter in my case needs to be set to ½ of the targeted value to function correct (setting 360 degree = shows 720 degree, 180 deg = shows 360 deg etc.)

* The scene seen through the cylindrical lens in Maxwell Studio appears flipped horizontally.

* One more thing is that when using a 180deg angle (set to 90 to receive 180deg), the camera looks backwards. When i rotated it by 180 deg. in y-axis, i got the forward view.

* Is there a softimage plugin V3 version in the works to use Fire in SI with different lenses directly ?

* Is there new command line options for using the different cam lenses yet ? I’ve checked http://support.nextlimit.com/display/mx ... mmand+Line but didn’t find a full V3 list yet that would carry the lens-types for example.

Thanks, we will take a look at these bugs.

There is already a V3 Softimage plugin, which lets you choose these different lenses from the camera options.

thx for Reply
didn't see lens selection in SI

Are you sure you have the latest plugin?

This happened for me as well if I was loading a default scene I had set up in preferences, with some Maxwell settings. That old scene was messing things up and was loading "old" camera settings.

ok cool, that was it. Thx

any news about the missing vertical FOV ?
