Fulldome Camera plugin for Unity 5.6
For Unity 2018+, use FulldomeCameraForUnity
Usage
To run a Fulldome game, this plugin needs two prefabs in your scene. A Camera Rig
and a Controller
.
Camera Rig
-
Place
FulldomeCamera/Prefabs/BlendyCameraRib.prefab
as your camera, anywhere in the ground or behind a character controller. -
It contains all the cameras of a cubemap that will be rendered by the Controller into the Fisheye image.
Controller
-
Drop
FulldomeCamera/Prefabs/BlendyFisheye3.prefab
anywhere. -
In it, you can set the
BlendyController
parameters to configure your output image, like theHorizon
and the outputSyphon Resolution
. -
The fisheye image will be rendered and via Syphon via the Funnel plugin, becoming available to any Syphon compatible application, like Blendy Dome VJ, that can be used to output it to the dome.
-
Syphon works on Mac only, so remove the Funnel component on windows, and try a
NDI
orSpout
plugin instead.
Considerations
-
This is an old solution created in Unity 5.4 that's just sitting on my drive, so I'm releasing it as is. There's a simpler implementation based on this article using Unity 2018.1 API: FulldomeCameraForUnity
-
The plugin will render multiple cameras to compose one Fisheye image, so the game performance can easily become very heavy.
-
I suggest to create a new Aspect on the Game View called
Fulldome
,Aspect Ratio
of1:1
. -
There are two minimal examples
FulldomeCamera/Examples/DemoFisheye.scene
andFulldomeCamera/Examples/LiveExample.scene
. -
Fulldome cameras can be placed on the ground or above a player controller. In the
LiveExample
, the camera is on the ground, but can be easily moved inside the 3rd Person Controller to follow the player, then move it a bit higher and rotate towards the ground to have a 3rd person view.
