Both are available as mentalray lenses, though the lightengine aperture shader can be used with the regular maya software renderer too.

Hi!

I am currently working on a project where I have to render in 360°. My question is if I can take one single camera in Maya and modify it so it has 360° view angle or if I have to take somewhat like 8 cameras, where each cam can "see" 45°.

Please give me solution or a link where I can read something about that. ;-)

Here is a tutorial on how to create panoramic pictures:

Altough I wouldn t use my lens shaders, these are much better:

Thanks for help. I tried the mental ray lens shader already and it works, but it is not as good as I need it to be, so I'll try the other links you gave me. Thank you so far.
