Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

multiple viewpoint rendering

Hey, I have a quick question regarding multiple cameras that are rendering one image. Hopefully someone will be able to help me out on this one.

I have one object that I want rendered from 4 to 5 different cameras ( all are different angles) to be displayed on one image. One image containing all viewpoints. Is this possible?

Thanks,

I was hoping their was an attribute within maya that could execute a task like this but in the back of my mind I knew that most likely I was going to have to use after effects. No problem though. I was just trying to side step extra work. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks,

Basically, my goal here is to have one image file that displays around 4 different camera views that I've rendered from maya. I have a 3d mock-up of a sports jersey that's going to have about 30 different color variations. Each color design is going to have the same camera angles (front, back, side, 3/4). I need all the camera views displayed on one image file so they can be displayed the same way each time on the website. So, one image that contains the sequence of camera views. & it would be great to have a template set up so it would run faster everytime I do one.

You could do them in photoshop if the images did not have to be animated. Name the images v1.1, v1.2...vn.1-4. I have not played with photoshops macro system much but I am just thinking you could build a single image for each v(i).1-4 where i goes from 1 to n the number of variations.

Fortunately they are just still images that need to be displayed so hopefully this could work. How would I go about doing this through macro system in photoshop? I really appreciate the help
