Maps
Three main maps are provided for typical in-camera VFX set-ups and configurations:
-
LED_CornerStage
-
LED_CornerStage2
-
LED_CurvedStage
These maps together provide a number of options for setting up your warp.
LED Corner Stage
The LED Corner Stage map is the first of two similar stages that showcase different means to set up your warp. It uses a standard Blueprint set up.
LED Corner Stage 2
The LED Corner Stage 2 map uses a newer technique that allows you to bring meshes directly into the scene, then map them to viewports listed in the config file.
You will need the new IncameraStagePawn Blueprint , which can be found in the top level nDisplay Plugin content folder in the Blueprints > Reprojection Camera subfolder.
The Cinecamera and meshes used for the warp need to be placed under this pawn in the World Outliner to move the entire stage around the content.
To change top level folder, click the folder icon next to the path at the top of the Content browser.
LED Curved Stage
This map provides an alternative set up with a curved mesh used for the LED wall. The LED wall is composed of four sub-sections, two on the left and two on the right, hence why there are four screens within BP_LED_Planar_Warp under the root object. You can customize these sub-sections to use this as a starting point to describe any type of curved LED displays, so that it matches your hardware configuration.
Chroma Key
In the Details for BP_InCameraStageSettings in the Curved Stage map, there is a control setting to enable the chroma key, allowing control over the visibility of that layer.
