Camera Pixel Aspect Ratio
Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2026 7:31 pm
Is there a way to render with 2 px aspect ratio? I need to render some objects for compositing onto raw anamorphic footage, but Octane seems to ignore this specific camera setting.
Images attached to further illustrate the problem:
houdini camera set to the correct resolution with 2 px aspect ratio
houdini viewport correctly showing the desqueezed image
Octane IPR ignoring the 2px aspect ratio, showing the result "squeezed"
rendered EXR incorrect with 1px aspect ratio
I know it's possible with other engines, because I did it in RS for a previous project, but if it's possible, I would like to use Octane for this project.
