Camera Components Explained

Default Settings

• Eye Separation:
  Type: Float | Default Setting: (3.0)
  The amount of eye separation that will be applied to 3D cameras. This spaces the cameras within the 3D pairs relative to the value supplied here.
  
  
• Alter Quality 3D:
  Type: Boolean | Default Setting: false
  Adjusts the image quality when 3D is enabled.
  
  
• Alter Res in 3D:
  Type: Boolean | Default Setting: true
  This adjusts the resolution to accommodate 3D.
• Igloo 3DActive:
  Type: Boolean | Default Setting: false
  Sets 3D on by default, this will be actively adjusted.
• Gamma 1080:
  Type: Clamped Float | Default Setting: 2.2
  The gamma at high-resolution settings.
  
  
• Gamma 720:
  Type: Clamped Float | Default Setting: 2.2
  The gamma at low-resolution settings.
  
  
• Sync Camera Render:
  Type: Boolean | Default Setting: false
  Syncs the 10 cameras together, so they don't send spout feeds on different threads.
  
  
• Camera Type:
  Type: Enumeration | Default Setting: Standard
  This enum specifies how the camera system will send the spout image. Currently, their is only two options
  
  1. Cylinder:
     This setting means the camera will send an 8000x1000 unwrapped cylindrical strip in per camera outputs or as a single spout feed using full-frame mode
  2. Cube:
     In 'cube' mode, the camera system sends a 9600x1080 equirectangular image using a single spout feed, which enables Full Dome support.
• Use Igloo Custom Capture Actors:
  Type: Boolean | Default Setting: false
  Deprecated
• Cylinder Warp Y:
  Type: Float | Default Setting: 1.0
  The amount of 'warping' applied to the Y-axis of the cylinder (this adds a curve to the axis turning it into a spherical camera)
  
  
• Half Pixel Height in Stereo:
  Type: Boolean | Default Setting: true
  This adjusts the resolution height to accommodate 3D.

Follow

• Object to Follow:
  Type: Actor | Default Setting: empty
  If you would like to follow a specific actor, please place it here. If you have FollowObject set to true you must assign something here, or you will get errors.
  
  
• Follow Object:
  Type: Boolean | Default Setting: false
  This will stop the camera from following the IglooPawn, and instead follow the ObjectToFollow.
  
  
• Follow Rotation:
  Type: Boolean | Default Setting: false
  This will follow the rotation vector of the object, as well as the position. This means if the player spins so will the 360 camera. Please use this wisely as it can
  easily cause motion sickness.
• Follow Camera:
  Type: Boolean | Default Setting: true
  This is to enable the following of the Igloo Pawn or the main scene camera. this may seem superfluous but you may want a static camera in your scene, and this
  would enable you to place the camera and not have it move.
  
  
• Rotation Axis Mult:
  Type: Vector 3 | Default Setting: 0.0 x 0.0 x 1.0
  This adjusts how much rotation is applied to the camera based on the input rotation from the FollowRotation boolean.
  
  
• Follow Offset:
  Type: Vector 3| Default Setting: 0.0 x 0.0 x -50.0
  This adds a permanent offset to the camera based on the object it's following. Useful when you are following a pawn, but its axis is located at the pawn's feet, so
  you can add +50 height to get the camera to follow at 'head height'.

Rendering, Replication, and Input

These are standard object components for an Unreal Actor.

Dome

• Dome Radius:
  Type: Float | Default Setting: 300.0
  The arbitrary width of the dome you are displaying the content on.
  Use 300 for Cylinder, and 360 for Equirectangular Dome.

• Clip Top
  Type: Float | Default Setting: 528.318542
  The point on the vertical pixel height at which the curve begins for the top of the dome.
  Use 528 for Cylinder, and 360 for Equirectangular Dome.

• Clip Bottom:
  Type: Float | Default Setting: -100.0
  The point on the vertical pixel height at which the curve begins for the bottom of the dome.
  Use -100 for Cylinder, and 360 for Equirectangular Dome.

Full Frame Render

• Full Frame Mode:
  Type: Boolean | Default Setting: true
  With this set to true the output of the camera system will be a single Spout feed based on resolution provided in FullFrameResHigh.
• Full Frame Res High:
  Type: Vector 2 | Default Setting: 9600 x 1080
  A canvas will be created at this resolution, where the camera feeds will be positioned, in order. This will then be parsed to Spout and sent.

• Full Frame Res Low:
  Type: Vector 2 | Default Setting: 6400 x 720
  In low-resolution mode, this is canvas size used for sending the camera feeds via Spout.

• Full Frame Canvas Render Target:
  Type: Texture2D | Default Setting: null
  Used for Debugging, displays the texture currently being sent to spout.

• Full Frame Spout Name:
  Type: String | Default Setting: IglooWeb
  The output name of the Spout signal. Igloo web is the default as this will be picked up by the warper in 99% of cases without configuring anything.

• Use Canvas Render:
  Type: Boolean | Default Setting: true
  
• Use Default Dome Values:
  Type: Boolean | Default Setting: true
  Instead of manually typing values for Dome Radius, Clip Top, Clip Bottom, Res High, and Res Low, this works everything out for you depending on whether you have Cube or Cylinder selected.

• Camera Name:
  Type: String | Default Setting: UnrealCam
  The prefix of the Spout stream when it is created.

Cube Camera

• Use UE40mni Directional Stereo:
  Type: Boolean | Default Setting: true
  
  
• Use Dome Occluders:
  Type: Boolean | Default Setting: true
