Hi, maybe noticed this thread a little bit too late. But there is an addon in trunk, called 'light field tools', which I created to setup light field rendering in blender (a camera grid). This can then be used by a light field rendered to adjust focus and a virtual aperture.
I used this to render some light fields with extremely high angular and spacial resolution, way higher than what current light field camera could capture in one shot. http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.5/Py/Scripts/Render/Light_Field_Tools aurel On 26 June 2011 22:30, Knapp <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sun, Jun 26, 2011 at 6:16 PM, Lars Krueger <[email protected]> wrote: >> -------- Original-Nachricht -------- >>> Datum: Sat, 25 Jun 2011 21:08:39 +0200 >>> Von: Knapp <[email protected]> >>> An: bf-blender developers <[email protected]> >>> Betreff: Re: [Bf-committers] A new photo format >> >>> Many times while reading these sites I have seen them mention 3d but I >>> do see your point.
