Anyone know POV-Ray?
It's free and open-source.
If anyone want to render Omnidirectional Stereo images or video, here the instructions:
Some example of rendering (6480 x 6480 pixels, Top-Bottom).

Mirrors - I made this

Stacker Day - POV-Ray sample scene adapted for ODS

Fractals 1 - POV-Ray sample scene adapted for ODS

Fractals 2 - POV-Ray sample scene adapted for ODS
------------------
Wineglass - POV-Ray sample scene adapted for ODS

Axis - Test reference

I hope someone can render cool scene with POV-Ray and share here.
I'm thinking about rendering videos, i'm stuck about choosing resolution; i opened another topic about this.
Enjoy POV-Ray!
The Persistence of Vision Raytracer, or POV-Ray, is a ray tracing program which generates images from a text-based scene description
It's free and open-source.
If anyone want to render Omnidirectional Stereo images or video, here the instructions:
- Download POV-Ray 3.7
- Overwrite the main .exe with this alpha build: (see the link in the next post)
- Create a scene, and declare a camera with this code:
// ODS - Top/Bottom
#declare odsIPD = 0.065; // Interpupillary distance
#declare odsLocationX = 0;
#declare odsLocationY = 0;
#declare odsLocationZ = 0;
#declare odsHandedness = -1; // "-1" for left-handed or "1" for right-handed
#declare odsAngle = 0; // Rotation, clockwise, in degree.
camera {
user_defined
location {
function { odsLocationX + cos(((x+0.5+odsAngle/360)) * 2 * pi - pi)*odsIPD/2*select(-y,-1,+1) }
function { odsLocationY }
function { odsLocationZ + sin(((x+0.5+odsAngle/360)) * 2 * pi - pi)*odsIPD/2*select(-y,-1,+1) * odsHandedness }
}
direction {
function { sin(((x+0.5+odsAngle/360)) * 2 * pi - pi) * cos(pi / 2 -select(y, 1-2*(y+0.5), 1-2*y) * pi) }
function { sin(pi / 2 - select(y, 1-2*(y+0.5), 1-2*y) * pi) }
function { -cos(((x+0.5+odsAngle/360)) * 2 * pi - pi) * cos(pi / 2 -select(y, 1-2*(y+0.5), 1-2*y) * pi) * odsHandedness }
}
}
