For our realtime 3ds max plug-in which used to be called RTRE and was available from Turbo Squid as a certfied Autodesk max plugin, is now called plugin3D and the latest version is v2.5.18, available to Download from our website at http://www.plugin3d.com.

A 64-bit Beta version is also available, this time from our Helpdesk system at http://cubicspace.zendesk.com/login.

Was there something specific you were looking for?

[stephen.scott]

Looking for:

1. Spherical (dome/f-theta) lens projection emulation: When using Projector Map function can't do a real dome lens projection on to a concave spherical screen surface. Have done done a 'fudge' by aiming a projector map light at a very small sphere/mirror (emitting caustics) and rendering the reflection on a spherical screen surface (receiving caustics). Gives a good idea of the expected projected image extents but not accurate enough for real-world engineering.

2. Planar (rectilinear) lens shift for projector map: Projecting an image on center is no problem but many real world scenarios call for the projector to be mounted off center ('shift' - usually vertical with the projector lens center aimed at the top/bottom of the desired image). Projector positioning in Max only allows tilting relative to the required image position - this results in keyston distortion to the rendered image.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Stephen Scott
