UE4 360 Stereo Image and Movie Capture

Image
Back in 2016 I did some research into this topic, coming from a motion picture background this stuff really interests me, especially as real-time rendering and visualization effects are becoming more practical and widely used. The need to capture 360 video and images is still a thing. Surprisingly not much has changed over the last four years. The two strongest and most easily available are the 'Panoramic Capture' plugin by Kite and Lightning devs, and Nvidia's 'Ansel' plugin. The Panoramic Capture plugin for UE4 allows you to capture still images or movies that can then be viewed or played back in stereo, giving the illusion that the world is being rendered in real time. In the following sections, we will take a look at how to set up and use the Panoramic Capture plugin and also take a look at how you can view the stereo images you create. https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Platforms/VR/DevelopVR/StereoPanoramicCapture/index.html https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-U
