I would gladly pay for the plans for this. You earned a subscriber

Interesting. Thanks!

Dude! So awesome, I am planning to build my own as well now. I hope you post some more updates on things, keep kicking ass!

Camera nerd, I love it 🔥

Amazing work bro 👏

Super cool man! Did you build it with node groups or using osl? I’ve been working with Zircron45 on lens simulation for a bit, finished my own set of lenses made with actual geometry right before the ray portal node got released and been trying to do some lens simulations with it since

Thanks for this starter tutorial - I thought it would be a lot more complicated but now I feel I can do some simple renders to test out the lens. I'm just starting with your lens kits and this is super helpful! Can I ask which vintage lenses your anamorphic lens where modelled after? I went on a wild goose chase for old lens patent schematic drawings and I couldn't find any decent info for my holy grail anamorphics (Panavision C Series). One more thing, if you could please explain the difference between the single focus and dual focus jackimorphics and when to use which, that would be much appreciated, also. Thanks Jack!

yo this is fucking sick!

Very interesting, I'm not a photographer or filmmaker so don't really know about lenses. But you seem to explain things very well. Why would one use these lenses instead of the built in camera? And can the built in not do these effects?

If I understand correctly, I can use their Follow Focus/Zoom like CMF-06 or CMF-04 and I can calibrate it at system startup (via button on follow focus), then via USB inject desired position? Will it hold the position throughout the day? I don't need smooth transitions, but to go to precise desired positions all day long.

thats a real chunky cat.....

I did everything as you said, only to find out that the app is no longer available in the App Store 😕 Could you share the Apk via drive?

ngl, its late and i thought the chickens were the render for a second. i was floored for those few moments.

this is awesome, i dont understand why more people arent demanding physical lenses like this in 3d software. i created a few very basic ones in daz/iray to use with a fisheye lens but the documentation for doing such a thing w/iray is so sparse as to be almost non existent--will definitely check this out once i make the full switch to blender

Hey, great to see an update from you! Yeah, when I recently saw the UE5 lens video, I remembered your anamorphic lens vids from years back and yeah, you were the first one creating these "virtual" lenses. I hope you and Joshua can get a collaboration going since you have so much more experience trouble-shooting these lenses and he seems to be very early in his R&D. I moved away from Blender so haven't played much with your lenses, but damn the images from your set-ups are so nice, I'm tempted to try rendering in Blender just to get that buttery cinematic look. But I would really like to use Octane instead of Cycles. Do you forsee any problems using your lenses with Octane? Any experience with that? Also, love the homestead vibe with chickens and cats.

did you see that guy putting together lenses for UE5 on youtube? some people in the comments were mentioning you edit: nvm I see you referenced it at the end of the video - anyway cool that you're not the only one trying this

Hiii!! Letting you all know I solved the floating point issue that prevented you from moving lens kits away from (0,0,0)!! The answer was the new Blender 4.2 Ray Portal node. The new files are on Blender Market now, I hope you get a chance to try them out :)

How did you get the lenses to move properly for the focus to follow the empty?

A lot of work, good look

It ist a very cool Project i am thinking to build one myself when i have time to! Til then i watch your Videos! Greetings from Switzerland

Stunning! May I ask what software you use to color grade?

I love this project! YES, I WILL PAY $50 for the software and parts list with instructions about assembly!! I have done lots of long range shooting with just DOPE. And used many Ballistic calculators, But what you have built with basically readily available parts (the software, not so readily available), that is awesome! Most mfgs are severely restricting availability of this type of scope or pricing it out of most shooters ability to purchase. This is just plain AWESOME!!!!!!

Man i wpuld pay 100$for the guide

Woooooow! I found it

I love what you've done! I just got the motor and found out my micro usb port is damaged.

Awesome 🎉

cool project!! I for sure want to build one!!

Dope rig! I like the animated rack focus examples a ton

Hey freakin yo thats dope!

Making these lenses is a lot of fun but I didn't enjoy messing with the ortographic camera-as-film-sensor. It's completely unintuitive to me why I need depth of field and why a shallow focus distance is necessary. I tried using a white diffuse plane as film and an ortographic camera to capture the image on the plane, that worked too and was more intuitive. I wonder if more efficiency can be had doing that.

I would love to be able to see this with the thermal option. I know you said the ITAR rules restrict some use but from what I can remember that only deals with importing and exporting outside of the US. I would still love to build out one of these, but getting into the thermal realm would make it 10x better.

I am certainly interested in the project! Been dreaming of way to do something like this!

Dang this channel is so underrated this guy been making hard things that no one can build.

Finally! a normal, nice person on youtube.

Could this be refurbished to be inter graded heads up display that way you could use any scope. I’m up at 6:45 unable to sleep because I’ve just been researching on if all the stuff I wanted to have were atlest possible

that belongs in a museum

Just found this when I was trying to see if anyone had tried this or not. I mean $50 isn't unreasonable for an assembly kit, but if you had it all premade and tested then I am sure you would sell more. As well as made it more visually apealing by putting it enclosure. The thermal scopes you see that don't have nearly the customization that are like this range from 2k-15k. Definetlly interested as both a programmer and a guy trying to put together a thermal scope lol..

Not the Zyn Tin FIZ 💀Work with what ya got!

that is suh a genius design, I am absolutely fascinated by this approach. The only thing I don't really get yet is the floating point error - wouldnt it be possible to just snap the camera rig to the existing scene camera without it being at 0,0,0 ?
