Hello all. Im a recent Bryce 5 user and a Planetarium Shows creator. Ive been wondered with the possibilitys of using Bryce to create landscapes and project them in a spherical (planetarium) dome with an All-sky projector system. But what happens is that although bryce as the panorama mode (wich captures mainly the horizon ) i seen to be unable to capture, in one single image the entire "bryce dome", like in one of those fotos of the sky with a fish-eye lens, where the horizon and the entire sky is captured... Can anyone help me to achieve this? muito sabao

Hi, do you mean a 360 degree rendering? If yes.There is an option in in Bryce that will render 360 degree and it looks like what you describe. br Apache2k

I can get you this far, but you'll have to map the image to how you want it: Create your scene, or sky dome if that's what you want. In the center of the scene, that is, where you want the view point to be from, create a sphere that is 100% reflective, 0% refraction, pretty much 0% everything else. Put the camera directly above the sphere, and pointed at it. I'd enter the numbers manually, it's easier and more precise. Render. Now, render an object mask of the sphere and use it to single out the sphere in an image editor. Voila. You have a sky dome completely rendered in Bryce.

I am not 100% certain, but I think you can try to select your camera, then go to Attributes and adjust FOV.

If you have stitching software, you can render all of the cube faces and flatten them into an equirectangular IF this is possible. Here's a tutorial on making cubic panormas.

There's a qtvr export function in Bryce but I think what is above is more on line with what you want.

THANKS A LOT EVERY BODY FOR THE HELP, AND A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO JOHNPENN. YOU REALLY CAPTURED WHAT I WAS ASKING AND YOUR TIP WAS A REALLY GREAT HELP AND IT DID SOLVE MY PROBLEM :). THANKS
