Cameras

Cameras in Omniverse Kit based apps do their best to emulate real world cameras and their functionality is as similar as possible.

Using Cameras (Video)

Camera Properties

Camera properties are set in the property panel of a selected camera. Note however that camera properties can be overridden globally via the render settings camera properties if desired.

Lens Properties

Lens Properties	Usage	Units
Focal Length	Longer Lens Lengths Narrower FOV, Shorter Lens Lengths Wider FOV	Millimeters
Focus Distance	The distance at which perfect sharpness is achieved.	World Units
fStop	Controls Distance Blurring. Lower Numbers decrease focus range, larger numbers increase it.	N/A
Projection	Sets camera to perspective or orthographic mode.	N/A
Stereo Role *	Sets use for stereoscopic renders as left/right eye or mono (default) for non stereo renders.	N/A

Aperture Properties

Aperture Properties	Usage	Units
Aperture (Horizontal)	Emulates sensor/film width on a camera	Millimeters (or, tenths of a world unit)
Aperture Offset (Horizontal) *	Offsets Resolution/Film gate horizontally.	Millimeters (or, tenths of a world unit)
Aperture (Vertical)	Emulates sensor/film height on a camera.	Millimeters (or, tenths of a world unit)
Aperture Offset (Vertical) *	Offsets Resolution/Film gate vertically.	Millimeters (or, tenths of a world unit)

Clipping Properties

Clipping Properties	Usage	Units
Clipping Planes
Clipping Range	Clips the view outside of both near and far range values.	World Units

Fisheye Properties

Corrected Wide Angle and 360 Degree Rendered Projections can be achieved through the use of the Fisheye Projection.

Fisheye Properties	Usage	Units
Projection Type	Pinhole: Standard Camera Projection (Disable Fisheye) Fisheye Orthographic: Full Frame using Orthographic Correction Fisheye Equidistant: Full Frame using Equidistant Correction Fisheye Equisolid: Full Frame using Equisolid Correction Fisheye Polynomial: 360 Degree Spherical Projection Fisheye Spherical: 360 Degree Full Frame Projection	N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A
Nominal width	Rendered Width (Used by Fisheye Polynomial)	Pixels
Nominal height	Rendered Height (Used by Fisheye Polynomial)	Pixels
Optical Center X	Horizontal Render Position (Used by Fisheye Polynomial)	Pixels
Optical Center Y	Vertical Render Position (Used by Fisheye Polynomial)	Pixels

Shutter Properties

Shutter Properties	Usage	Units
Shutter Open *	Used with Motion Blur to control blur amount, increased values delay shutter opening.	Seconds
Shutter Close *	Used with Motion Blur to control blur amount, increased values forward the shutter close.	Seconds

^* Kit Based apps allows these values to be set in accordance with the USD schema, however these settings are currently ignored by RTX rendering.
