For a long time time now, I've been wanting to be able to render my images using Anamorphics. I know what it is, what it results in, and what it requires in the physical world. But what I don't know is whether FireFly combined with some sort of scripting would be able to create an adjustable Anamorphic rendering lens for the Poser renderer.
Given the sophistication of the renderer and scripting abilities in Poser, I suppose the idea of creating a physically modeled lens to render through is not too far fetched, but due to all the stuff I read about reflection and refraction in FireFly, I'm wondering if there is something that would render the idea useless.
Would Bagginsbill or anyone else consider making an anamorphic plugin so that we get stretched bokeh in the same way we do when shooting through a real Anamorphic lens? Something that lets us control the geometry of the lens so that we can adjust the squeeze? I think it would sell to pretty much anyone who puts real effort into their renders because seriously, Anamorphic bokeh just looks grand, impressive, magnificent!
It's absolute awesomeness!
