In order to minimize any pixelization in your Virtual Reality experience, you need to select much higher resolution. We’ve included several resolution sizes to choose from.Ħ) Start the render and when it finishes, see the next steps below. Note that very high resolution for 360 images playback is required, since only a portion of the entire 360 image is visible in your viewfinder. With the new 360 camera active, left-click the Render button in the Main Toolbar. Select JPG as the Image Format and make sure to enable the new checkbox “Adjust for Virtual Reality playback on social media.” This makes sure you’ve selected the right render settings and can view your immersive 360 image on supported VR devices.

This sets the first view you see in the final VR experience.ĥ) Turn off raytracing by selecting Preview mode from the Main Toolbar. Once your 360 camera is perfectly positioned, and with the ‘Preview 360 Panorama’ enabled, rotate your view to where you want to start in the VR experience – then click the ‘Set Startup View’ button. Repeat as necessary until your placement is just right. Disable ‘Preview 360 Panorama’ to re-adjust your 360 camera positioning, then re-enable ‘Preview 360 Panorama’ to see the results. Only rotating the camera around in this Preview 360 mode is possible – you cannot move the position of this 360 camera. It’s also raytracing live, just like your normal Viewport! Use this preview to make sure your camera positioning is exactly where you want it – perfectly positioned over a seat, in the middle of the hallway, standing next to a table, etc. Another helpful trick is to enter the desired height of the camera in the Cameras Tab > Transform sub-tab > Camera Positioning > “Height from Floor” (in meters).Ĥ) Once you’ve roughly positioned the 360 camera, go to the new ‘360’ sub-tab in the Cameras tab and enable ‘Preview 360 Panorama.” This unique view changes your Viewport to what you’d see in the final 360 VR experience. You can even use Multi-Viewports with another camera to manually drag the 360 camera’s manipulator into the desired position. This 360 camera type is omni-direction and will always remain level (non-twisted).

You will notice the new 360 camera icon next to your mouse cursor, letting you know you are moving a 360 camera. Only Fast and Accurate (and of course PowerBoost) raytrace modes will show you the warped photorealistic final image, so you will need to use either of those modes to see how the final image will look.ģ) Using the keyboard/mouse shortcuts to Pan and Zoom, position your new 360 camera into the desired location. This will automatically set your camera to the required 2:1 aspect ratio.Ģ) In Preview mode, you will now see a slightly wider view of your scene in the Viewport. You can also create proper stereo (left eye, right eye) as well, however it’s not required for this new 360 content.ġ) Create a camera and select the new ‘360’ option from the ‘Type’ dropdown in the Cameras Tab ‘General’ sub-tab.

We’ve even given you an option to preview this 360 image before you render it – saving annoying rework time. This image can then be viewed with any VR headset (from HTC Vive all the way to even a $15 Google Cardboard). Visualize 2018 allows you to create ‘360’ cameras, which render out a flattened-spherical image, changing how you design, develop and deliver your products.
