Adding A VLP
Virtual Lens Package (VLP) lenses are built in lenses included with the system that allow the user to avoid any manual lens calibration.
Currently supported lenses are:
- ARRI/Zeiss Ultra Prime range
- ARRI/Zeiss Master Prime range
- Zeiss Supreme Prime and Supreme Prime Radiance range
- Zeiss Nano
- Zeiss CP2 range
- Zeiss CP3 and CP3.XD range
- Zeiss Compact Zoom range
- Zeiss Super speed range
The CP3, CP3.XD, Nano, Supreme Prime and Supreme Prime Radiance VLP’s are included in the CinCraft Scenario licensing. The remaining VLP’s require separate licensing which can be purchased via the CinCraft portal.
Before adding a lens, ensure that at least one camera has been created already. All lenses in CinCraft Scenario exist as a pair with a camera.
To add a lens, simply select the “+” icon on the camera that you wish to attach it to
The following pop-up window will allow you to select from the available lenses provided by the Virtual Lens Packages.
Begin by selecting the Lens Manufacturer, and then continue to select the series and model as appropriate.
Finally, the “Scale Code” is a lens specific value that can be found etched onto the focus barrel of the lens, please find the scale code on the lens and make the appropriate selection to complete the lens adding process.
It is not required to have a Virtual Lens Package licensed to be able to add a lens from its package into your project. However, lenses that are not covered by an active Virtual Lens Package license will cause CinCraft Scenario to enter “reduced mode” when selected in a tracking config
If adding multiple lenses to more than one camera. To save time, first add all lenses to a single camera and then use the “clone and adjust” option to make a new camera with all the lenses attached to it included
