Kind of a bad video without any explanation what it actually does. If you put out a video, give back story what camera shift & Y is and what it does. This is just a bit short and not reallly helping people
Thanks, Rombout. I'll try to improve my videos!
I see you have a great looking website and business. I think you have really much knowledge, share it if you can :)
The end result is like moving 2D image. I prefer 3D look.
I like the videos you make, but this time I have to say you are using this for the wrong purpose, let me explain:
- First and most important, using shift for animation is a waste of rendering time, while you can have the same effect by doing a longer vertical render (1 single frame) and animating the 2D image with a scrolling effect afterwards.
- Second, I use this camera shift to make architectural renders where vertical lines matters, like for a skyscraper where you don't want to show it deform and loosing details on the top. In others software you have something called "Guess vertical lines" on the camera options but in blender I couldn't find such option (correct me if I'm wrong)
Maybe you could show this second option for one of your next videos ;)
almost like using a good old monorail-camera ;) essential for architectural stuff. thx for showing this option
