Wideview setup

[ivar hestnes]

I am pretty sure you can use the setup with two front monitors on a straight line, and one monitor for each other view, and get a "seamless" image.

Have in mind that the camera position is in the center of each of your views. But the front view is a lot wider, so the FOV is also wider on the front. To achieve a correct result, you should move the camera position (for the side channels) sideways in relation to the front view. (for the side channels, the camera position for your left view should be on a centre line behind the left channel on your front view). Not sure if the zoom must be the same on front and side when you have double front channel, but for sure the zoom must be identical on all the channels with one monitor.

I have not tried this myself, but I believe this should work.

I would do it like this:
Use a front view on your side monitors, then..
Move the camera position on left side monitor to make the same front view as the left front monitor. When the image is identical on both monitors, you know that the camera position is correct for your side view. Then you can set the view angle on your left monitor. Then finetune your zoom and give it a test.

But as I can see it, the issue with having two monitors on only one of the view directions, will result in the single screen views to show its image from more distanse away. So the immersion will not be correct.

I have a tutorial for visuals on my webpage. This is not a topic in that tutorial, but some information there might be useful anyway.
