T'all and you, Jim,
OK, OK, it's a fisheye! I think I knew that from my photography days, but the
client is always right, right?
Anyway, what he wanted was just a pan out to a super wide angle,
almost like what a zooming fisheye would yield. The object starting
on the left edge of the screen would end up still on the left edge.
We were getting too much of the top and floor of the set. I made all
the backdrop pieces a little taller and changed the angle/height of
the camera. It'll all be rendering soon on somebodies Raptor.
Sure glad this came out to be such a good thread, 'tho.
I did try a magnifying glass moving over a logo once, and it came out pretty
good. I think I made both the upper AND lower surfaces two sided to get the
look to come out right. Probably could've just faced them both up.
Thanks to everyone for all of the ideas. Now I know what'll occupy
all my spare time once this one is done…
