Okay, i am working on a project with a 'turbosquid model' of a man. I was having trouble selecting his lungs through his skin layer. So, i turned his skin off in the materials box to right of screen.

just for my own edification an anamorphic lens stretches a wide screen image such that it fills a normal film frame (standard 4:3 ratio). The image uses the entire frame but the image is distorted from its widescreen aspect ratio. Then the image needs to be projected back through a complimentary lens to project it back at the proper wide screen aspect ratio.

Is this the correct idea?

bokeh

there is a lot of distortion on these lenses as you can imagine. Its just a real hassle to track them. We dont often get anything anamorphic tho. user added image
