VR Objects Inspector

Manages viewpoints defined by a camera, a target or a focal length. Each viewpoint is considered to be an independent document with its own parameters, which can receive its own environment.

A VR Objects view is made up of several images taken from different points in a sphere. A view is defined by a camera that moves in a sphere, a target, the center of the sphere and a focal length, as well as two horizontal and vertical angular movement steps.

1. View Name

The name of the current view is displayed; double click on it to edit it.

2. VR Projection

Choose Hemispherical, Torus, or Spherical.

Modify values in angular horizontal and vertical step, in degrees.

3. Number of Images

Indicates the number of images that will be needed to calculate the VR Objects. This number is dependent on the values defined for the angular horizontal and vertical steps, and the horizontal angle.

4. Focal Length

Changes the focal length when the slider is used or when a value is entered in mm or degrees (adjusts the angular opening of the camera).

NB: Value modification depends of the Viewpoint Update Mode settings in Preferences.

5. Associated Heliodon

Links a heliodon to the view. Selecting "None" deactivates the heliodon.

6. Light Group

Links one or more light groups to the view. Selecting "None" deactivates the light groups.

7. Neon Shader

Links one or more Neon Shaders to the view. Selecting "None" deactivates the lighting.

8. Background
9. Foreground

To place a 2D, 3D or HDR Image in the Background or the Foreground just drag and drop it onto the relevant button. Double clicking on a button displays the editor.

The pop-up menu can be used to toggle between different types of background: Heliodon Sky, Gradient, Image.

10. Infinite Ground

To define an infinite ground per view:



• Checking/unchecking activates and deactivates the ground. The ground receives shadows, Shaders and objects.

• Enter a value into the related field.or determine the altitude graphically in Preview or in 2D View:

  In Preview, click on the Altitude tool, then in the Preview, click on the scene element to define the height of the ground.

  In 2D View, click on the Altitude tool, then in an elevation of the 2D View, click on the geometry to define the height of the ground.

• Edit Shader activates the Shader edit mode.

OK menu, OK for All permits to propagate the settings to all the other infinite ground set in the project.

11. Clipping Box

Clipping planes defined in the 2D View.

Show

When checked, the box is visible in 2D View.

Activate

When checked, the clipping box takes effect in the Preview window.

12. Visible Layers

Check them in the drop-down menu.

13. Coordinates

Camera X, Y and Z position of VR Center.

Horizontal Shift

According to the trigonometric circle, turns the opening point of the VR Object. Enter a value in degrees.

Horizontal Angle

Restricts the opening angle. Enter a value in degrees.

Radius

The radius of the VR.

• Click on the padlock icon to lock or unlock the coordinates.

14. Tone Settings

Set the tone for the current view.

15. Post Process

Applies effects to the current viewpoint. The effects combine with the parameters set in the inspector.

16. Rendering Parameters

Prepares the document for the final rendering.



Use Default

Use the default settings

Set As Default

Defines the current settings as the default settings.

OK for All drop-down menu

Apply these settings to all other views for the inspector concerned.
