Hi guys,
I was wondering if there is a clean way to avoid the seams occurring when rendering post effects (I think its the bloom) onto 360degree spherical/panoramic animations for youtube for example.
Is there something like 360-post effects?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Remo,
unfortunately, since it’s a post effect, is affected by the border of the image.
As a workaround, since the post effect needs only few samples, eg.32/64 sampling, you can rotate the camera 180°, and render another post effect pass, to have a different seem, and merge it with the first post effect, to remove the seem, by sliding half way.

Ciao Beppe,
thx for the quick reply!
Too bad that this isnt possible....but good to know that the post effects only need a few samples..
Thanks a lot!
