 Not sure if it will work, but I barely remember a trick with an implicit
 object: Add an implicit object, which can actually live in a partition, add
 a custom parameter set and add as many parameters as you need. Connect
 those to the lens shader and finally override those instead of the camera
 directly.
 Again, I can't remember if that was the right way to do it, but you can try
 something among those lines.

Camera pass overrides?

Re: Camera pass overrides?

2014-03-06 Thread Francois Lord
It seems you are right, Morten. You cannot change even the angle of the 
camera with an override.
However, if you only want to change the lens shader, there is a 
parameter on the pass to do this (last tab, last parameter down). You 
can append a camera shader or you can override it entirely.

Does it do what you want?

Re: Camera pass overrides?

2014-03-06 Thread Lp3dsoft
Hi,

Get an implicit cube.  Link your camera's ink shader parameter to the 
visibility of the cube! Hide the cube in a partition when you don't want ink, 
have it visible when you do!

Cheers
