Removing Panaromic Distortion
Posted by Kalyan Tagore on June 9, 2019 at 11:23 amHello everyone,
I have a panaromic video (please refer the image link) – which will be projected onto a 360 (four walls) – (plz refer the youtube link)
How can I remove the (spherical) distortion from the 3d renders.
Can anyone please help.Image

June 9, 2019 at 2:53 pmIf the four walls you’re projecting onto are close to equal size, you can change the projection from equilateral (as in your original) to cubic projection (6 faces of a cube) in Skybox, omit the top and bottom (“floor” and “ceiling”), then split the four “walls” of the cube into four separate projections.

June 9, 2019 at 6:18 pmThanks for the reply. The problem is, they are not equidistant… The basic shape of this room is like a cuboid. It’s like , 2 walls of 4000px and other 2 walls are 2600px.
The total length of all walls put together would come around 13500px. And the height is 1500px. -

June 10, 2019 at 7:36 amMy next approach would be to split the panorama into those 4 comps and use optics compensation to remove the distortion. You will need a different amount of the effect on the two differently-sized comps to make the image edges match. I doubt that they will match perfectly, since optics compensation works on both axis, but you have corners in the room anyways.
If you want something that appears more accurate — i.e. (un)distorts only in one axis direction — I believe you’ll have to use a custom distortion mesh.
