Rendering a shifted view

Question

Hello to the Substance Support Community!

I am still in the tryout period, to see how my workflow with 3D Stager can ease my work. From time to time i do virtual staging in Dimensions and i was waiting for the possibility to set lights as now in Stager! Often i want to put the camera in one-point-perspective. For me it makes sense to put the camera with a straigt forward view a bit more to the right or left and then - as i do it in real photography to shift the lens to the right or left. in my old §D Editor Cheetah3D i used to set a mask in front of the camera to render only the wanted ratio (3:2) and not to render a huge image and crop it later in Photoshop. Has anyone an idea how i can do it in Stager? Photographers, knowing Tilt/Shift lenses will understand the problem.

I am thankfull for any help:

Have a good day!

Hello Laas!Stager allows you to create camera objects which have an explicit size, so you can create different aspect ratio renders all from one scene pretty easily.  I think this should give you the 'mask' effect you're looking for. Create a camera object (in the viewport control bar above the viewport)Select the camera in the scene panelIn the properties panel set the size to the pixels/aspect ratio you want to render  Unfortunately Stager doesn't have shift lens simulation, but if it's mostly a matter of not wanting to render extra area, you can do this to crop the view to your aspect ratio you want.
