Thanks very much for the tip. Although the detail is blown, it does help a bit. Cheers!

Hi,

Thanks very much for your help. It may very well be a viable option but I think the widescreen viewers will still feel a bit neglected 🙂 However I feel this is maybe preferable to using standard 4×3 in this case as for widescreen viewers to see it pillarboxed (at the correct proportion) is better than them seeing a stretched image, right? Am I right in assuming that ALL 16:9 TVs will stretch a 4:3 image horizontally to fit the screen?

Also:

“When in DVD SP force this footage to Pan&Scan when in 4×3”

I couldn’t find this setting, only the general aspect ratio setups in preferences. Could you tell me how to do it?

Thanks very much again for your help. Much appreciated.

Thanks very much for your helpful reply. Is the only option now to work and output everything to 4:3 as this is the aspect ratio it was shot in? Is there any way I can cater for the widescreen crowd in this case?

Thanks again!

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback, Nico. You mean you don’t use the turntable method but instead paste high resolution photo textures onto 3D wireframes? What if your object has curved edges or a flip-lid or something? I’m just wondering how you would get around this issue, especially in a 2D program like Illustrator. Also, wouldn’t your photo/texture need to be “blown-out” to compensate for wrapping around a 3D wireframe? How would you capture such an image?

I’m not familiar with Invigorator yet, does it accept Illustrator files and piece them together as a 3D object?

Sorry for all the questions, I’m not criticizing your technique, I’m just curious about all my options. If you have any examples of your work online that you could point me to, I’d love to see them. Thanks!

Great. Thanks a lot Steve for all your help. I’ll let you know how things turn (no pun intended) out!

Thanks very much for your helpful feedback. I hadn’t considered the turntable or marking incrementally… That’s the way to go, then, with sequential still photos?
