This connects an image plane node to a scene camera so the an image or image sequence always fills the camera view.

There is also a video showing how to use it.
BTW. We should rename this section to "trueBluetorium"

Nice work Clinton!clintonman wrote:BTW. We should rename this section to "trueBluetorium"
What can I say? I can not afford the BIG bucks for a web site.
But I can hack!
How about a tS76 version with Alpha and a Camera node incorporated? Edit: Updated Clinton's suggestion 1/25/2010

Nicely organized. The only thing I would change would be to bring the frame value to the top for easy keyframing.trueBlue wrote:Nice work Clinton!clintonman wrote:BTW. We should rename this section to "trueBluetorium"

In your video, you enter the size of your images: 756x510 and Pixel Aspect 0.9
How do you figure out the Pixel Aspect?
Using this Aspect Ratio Calculator?
https://toolstud.io/photo/aspect.php?wi ... pare=video
Aspect Ratio (short: A/R) is the width of an image or screen, divided by the height.
In landscape orientation, the A/R is > 1, for portrait orientation the A/R is < 1 and for square screens, this is = 1.
Size = 756 x 510 = 0.39 megapixels
Aspect ratio = 1.48
Angle of diagonal = 0.593 rad = 34°
Length of diagonal = 912 pixels
Is it the Length of diagonal = 912 pixels?
Example Window Size is set @ 756x510
The background image does not fill the Window and renders as such.

Re: Image Sequence Background Plane
I have no idea where I got the numbers 766 x 510, but the image(not pixel) aspect of 1.5 is the same for 720 x 480
NTSC DV is defined as 720 x 480 with a pixel aspect ratio of 0.9
The pixel aspect comes from the camera used to create the video not from any calculations.
That's old technology now, so most videos created in the last 10 years would have a pixel aspect ratio of 1.0
Also be sure your 3d window size is set with Work area dimensions checked.

Re: Image Sequence Background Plane
Okay thanks for the explanation!
I am using the Default -1 for the Work area dimensions
I am also changing/adding a Width & Height attribute for the Open Camera Window script
