Last night i was VJ for Domesicle party at SAT Montreal.

Here a funny sample :
A little simulation with the best houdini geo : the Squab.

Awesome.

Hi Fred,
Nice work. Doing Fulldome with Houdini is why I have just started learning it. What resolution are you doing your fisheye at? Also how did you get octane and indie working? I was under the impression that wasn't possible.

Hi

For fulldome in houdini 2 way :
-Lens shader write by Nhat Phong Tran, call Dome Shader :

-Or render with Polar projection (spherical) and use skybox converter (after effect) to get 210*360

For octane i use alembic export, it s pretty fast, with the beta 3 i get a nice zdepth.

For the resolution : for real time it is 2k for movie playback it is 4k.

TouchDesigner is pretty nice to create fulldome animation for realtime.
