New: Environment Light for Mantra VR Graphix Effect | Overview
The Mantra VR 1.20 Update has integrated “Environment Light” and “Material” parameters into the Graphix Effect. This allows for more organic compositing of non-360° sources onto your 360 footage, especially when using the Distribution features, which let you quickly add and animate multiple instances. Charles Yeager goes over the new features, and shows best practices for compositing 2D footage and logos, and walks us through an easy way to add subtitles. Check out the overview below.
