John Bigboote Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 THIS model has been around for a few years now, and due to Tralfaz's recent usage and success with it, I have decided it should be available to all-with a tutorial! Formerly known as 'BensLens'...it was developed by Ben(BenToTheMax) and myself after we discovered that simply widening A:M's camera focal length did not get the effect of a true 'fisheye' lens. The main place you can see its effect is in the lines of your perspective. With the plain A:M camera at a wide focal length the lines will always be straight, whereas with 'fisheye' distortion you get natural lenticular curvature. NOTE: Because it uses refraction upon render...your render times will increase. ALSO--- there are some 'toys' in the pose sliders. 'Whiskey Glass' gives a wacky distortion effect, and 'Facet' should give an insect-eye look. I hope other people will experiment and implement other 'toys'. I am including a sample where I used the 'whiskey glass' gradually increasing it's effect over time. I hope Hashers will grab this simple model and keep it in their 'tool box' and use it when circumstances dictate...ENJOY! FISHEYE.mdl FISHEYE_tutorial.pdf 11_second_NOV2009_fisheye.mov Quote
