Hi Paq,

you have a cool technical art style.

Just went through your gallery,

great stuff for inspiration an learning.

As always, PaQ is my hero!

Very nice !!! Impressive !! great job PAQ :-)

next on modo ;-)

Awesome racer!!

Hello there, well thanks a lot for the cool comments :)

For info, to anyone interessted into the script, some minus value has to be done to match MoI camera with modo one :

So lets say the modo camera postion is at x,y,z ... then you have to put x,-z,y in the script values ... and the tilt angle in the 3D angle option is minus the modo Roll one)

Works pretty well :)





... but still don't get the math for the angle of view ...

Nice reaction's car!

Another very cool model PaQ! fantastic work.

Cheers

Hi PaQ,

> ... but still don't get the math for the angle of view ...

So to start with you'll probably want to do the screencapture with a script like this so you can exactly match the pixel width and height dimensions:

script: /* render view to clipboard */ var v = moi.ui.getActiveViewport(); if ( v != null ) { moi.view.lineWidth = 4; v.renderToClipboard( 2560, 2560 ); moi.view.lineWidth = 1; }

Change the 2560,2560 to your target width,height.



Then for converting a full horizontal angle of view into what MoI uses, try the following script - there are 3 values to substitute:

horiz_angle = 40 replace with your horizontal angle of view
width = 1024 replace with your rendered image pixel width
height = 768 replace with your rendered image pixel height

script: /* match horizontal view angle */ var horiz_angle = 40; var width = 1024; var height = 768; var x = Math.tan( (horiz_angle/2) * (Math.PI/180) ); x *= height / width; var central_angle = Math.atan( x ) * 2 * (180/Math.PI); moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D').fieldOfViewAngle = central_angle;



Let me know if that doesn't seem to work.

thanks for the nice comments !

Hi Michael, I will give a try tomorrow, for the moment I scale the image by hand until it perfecly match, not that hard.
I can apply a rule of 3 (not sure about the english term), but that's the best math I can do :P

So thanks for the enhanced version of the script :)


Just finished the image 30 min before the deadline :)

Fabulous PaQ & very clever.

Hi PaQ, it's an awesome result!

Bravo!

Amazing!

Stunning!

very nice work mate and love the style you went for

Hello,

Thanks for your comments :) really appreciate.

@Michael, I just move into a new place yesterday, so I can't do any test for the script before Monday at work !

Hi Michael,

So here a test with the focal converter script :
width 1024 height = 512 Modo Angle of view 40

The script return : 20,628 for the field of view,

here's the result :



It doesn't completly match but it's pretty close, so I can live with that.

There is not also a screen factor deformation depending of measures of each computers? (4/3, 16/9...
