This page provides information on generating virtual reality enabled images in Chaos Cloud.
Overview
If a Spherical Panorama camera is used in a still scene, Chaos Cloud automatically generates a responsive web page for reviewing the result on a VR headsets such as Google Cardboard. Generating VR preview for the rest of the VR output cases is coming (e.g. Stereo, Cube6x1/Cubemap camera, etc.). This page contains all information related to viewing and sharing output images of scenes which use a Spherical Panorama camera in Chaos Cloud.
This feature only works with a Spherical Panorama camera. If your scene does not have one, the VR preview web page is not generated.
The VR preview web page does not support the VR Cubemap yet. However, if you render a scene using this camera, it renders properly and you get the desired result.
Submitting a Render Job with VR Preview
To submit a render job with VR preview to Chaos Cloud, you have to use Spherical Panorama camera and follow the submission process explained in Submitting Render Jobs to Chaos Cloud.
Preview and Share VR images with Chaos Cloud
Virtual reality images rendered in Chaos Cloud come with a distinct set of additional options for preview and sharing the output of your renders. They can be accessed from the Job Details page of a completed render job which has a VR preview.
The button enters full-screen mode. In full-screen you can hold the left mouse button and move around to fully preview the VR image.
The Share button generates a QR code and a shareable download link, both of which grant anonymous access to the VR image, accessible from any device.
You can copy the link using the Copy button, or scan the QR code with any compatible mobile application. This will open the responsive web page where the completed VR image can be previewed on all viable Virtual Reality headsets.
