VR

Python: "cam_vr"

The vr camera node is used for non-conventional projection types such as spherical (panoramic) views, or to generate stereoscopic content for VR.

Common¶

Node alias¶

Python: "cam_alias"

Human-readable node alias.

Alias color¶

Python: "cam_alias_color"

Identificative node color.

ISO speed¶

Python: "cam_iso"

Controls the camera's sensitivity to light. Unlike film or digital sensors, this setting does not introduce any additional noise and acts as a linear multiplier.

Canonical axes¶

Python: "cam_vr_canonical_axes"

Makes the camera ignore the orientation of its xform and auto-align itself to the canonical X/Y/Z world axes.

Stereoscopy¶

Stereoscopy eye¶

Python: "cam_vr_eye"

Selects which eye to render for stereoscopic display.

Inter-Pupillary distance¶

Python: "cam_vr_ipd"

Defines the separation between both eyes in a stereoscopic render. The default value matches an average adult human.

Film¶

Film docking¶

Python: "cam_film_docking"

Controls how the selected film (or sensor) size is docked into the render resolution. The film can be docked to fit horizontally, vertically or diagonally in the rendered image.

Film width¶

Python: "cam_film_w"

Sets the camera's film or sensor width. The default value matches a full-frame camera (36mm).

Film height¶

Python: "cam_film_h"

Sets the camera's film or sensor height. The default value matches a full-frame camera (24mm).

Lens¶

Focal length¶

Python: "cam_focal"

Sets the focal length of the camera lens. Smaller values correspond to wide angle lenses, while higher values correspond to tele-photo lenses.

Zoom (crop factor)¶

Python: "cam_zoom"

The Zoom (or crop) factor increases or decreases the Field of View without affecting the rest of optics settings.

Aperture (f-stop)¶

Python: "cam_fstop"

Controls the camera's aperture (i.e., diaphragm opening). The value represents a fraction of the maximum physical opening of the lens, so a smaller value represents a larger opening allowing more light to enter the lens. This results in brighter images and shallower Depth Of Field (more blur). Likewise, a higher aperture value represents a smaller opening and produces darker images with a deeper Depth Of Field (less blur).

Lock exposure¶

Python: "cam_lock_exposure"

When enabled, the camera exposure will be locked to the equivalent of an f:8 aperture. This allows to control Depth Of Field without affecting the brightness of the image.

Shutter speed¶

Python: "cam_shutter"

Sets the exposure time. The value is expressed as a fraction of a second. Lower values will result in a longer exposure time and brighter images. Higher values will result in a shorter exposure time and darker images.

Trace sets¶

Include list¶

Python: "cam_trace_set_include"

List of comma or space-separated trace set IDs. If the list starts by - then the list is inverted (i.e., all IDs except for the listed ones). Light paths (which spawn at the camera) are initialized with this include list of trace set IDs.

Enable include list¶

Python: "cam_trace_set_include_enable"

Enables or disables the trace sets include list.

Exclude list¶

Python: "cam_trace_set_exclude"

List of comma or space-separated trace set IDs. If the list starts by - then the list is inverted (i.e., all IDs except for the listed ones). Light paths (which spawn at the camera) are initialized with this exclude list of trace set IDs.

Enable exclude list¶

Python: "cam_trace_set_exclude_enable"

Enables or disables the trace sets exclude list.
