360 DOME PROJECTION -Creating Dome master formatted scenes

Hello!

I'm looking to create scenes in C4D using Octane to be projected into a dome, using a spherical mirror and projector (Paul Bourke method).

For this, I need to set up my scenes in a 'dome master' format ( please see attached video ) I think I may have to use a spherical/panoramic lens and then convert to fisheye somehow for accuracy? I'm not sure how to make and export a scene in this format.

Any tips greatly appreciated!

Thank you :)

The Universal camera has a Fisheye mode, you should be able to use that.
The "Lens shift" input can be used for off-axis projection.
