I looked into making a panorama for a video since my camera is sitting stationary I probably only need one frame that is 360 or panoramic to create the video. I followed these steps here to make the render:
Maya and V-Ray
- Using a regular camera in Maya with “Treat as VRAY Physical camera” enabled or disabled
- Lens/FOV settings shouldn't matter because it is a "proper pano" in grabbing all 6 angles appropriately to later stitch together.
- To enable the cube, open the Attribute Editor for the camera:
- In the attribute Editor for the camera, ensure the V-Ray Camera Settings are displayed by going to the “Attributes” menu, the “V-Ray” submenu, and make sure “Camera settings” is checked.
- Scroll down to “Camera settings” and check “Override Global Camera Settings”.
- For type, select Cube 6x1.
- To set the resolution, open the Render Settings dialogue:
- Open the VRay Common tab.
- Expand the Resolution rollout.
- Resolution must be a square, where x is the same as y. For this example, we are using 1536x1536. Since the image is essentially an unwrapped cube, with 6 images in a row horizontally, we need to set the resolution to be 6 times wider than it is tall. For our example we will enter 9216 for the height since it is 1536 x 6, and 1536 for the Height.
- To enable Stereoscopic, open the Attribute Editor for the camera:
- In the attribute Editor for the camera, ensure the V-Ray stereoscopic camera settings are displayed by going to the “Attributes” menu, the “V-Ray” submenu, and make sure “Stereoscopic camera” is checked.
- Scroll down to “Stereoscopic camera” under “Extra VRay Attributes” and check “Treat as VRay Stereoscopic camera”.
- Eye Distance should be set to 6.5 cm (2.56 in.).
- Make sure “Adjust Resolution” is checked, otherwise the resolution from step 3.3 above would need to be modified to be 12 times wider rather than 6
- Other settings can be left to their defaults.
- Once all is setup properly, you should have a render of 12 squares each at 1536 res, all side by side for a total of 18432x1536 with the left six belonging to the left eye and the right six belonging to the right eye.
- Upload the image to app.irisvr.com/panos. Full tutorial here.
