FoV-Sphere

A Blender add-on designed for determining the correct Field of View (FoV) and Aspect Ratio when importing a scene ripped with NR 2.

Download the Add-on

Purpose:

To calculate the correct FoV_Y value to use when importing using World Space. The correct Width value should be obtained from the _log.txt outputted by Ninja Ripper (NR) and used when importing.

• Find Width and Height:
  • Open the _log.txt file and search for "backbuffer."
  • Use the width and height values found there.

Requirements:

• Two imports must be made with different FoV values.
• The resulting sphere mesh dimensions of these imports will be used in the calculations.
• Important: The same sphere mesh file should be used for all imports.
• Note: Do NOT change the Height import value during the process, or the calculated final values will be incorrect.

Quick Use Guide:

FoV_Y Calculator

1. Do 1st FoV_Y Import:

   • In the Importer settings, use the Width and Height values from the log file, or you can supply higher values for better precision.

2. Enter FoV_Y used:

   • Input the value from the first FoV_Y import.

3. Do 2nd FoV_Y Import:

   • Perform another import using a different FoV_Y value.

4. Enter FoV_Y used:

   • Input the value from the second FoV_Y import.

5. Do FoV_Y Calculation:

   • Run the calculation, and the result will be displayed in the next step.

6. Correct FoV_Y:

   • If everything worked correctly, copy this value and use it for all imports of this scene.

Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Import the Sphere Mesh:

   • Use the first FoV value and the Width and Height from the log file.
   • Do not change the Height value once you start.

2. Enter the 1st FoV Value:

   • After the first import, enter the FoV value into "1st FoV."

3. Import the Sphere Mesh Again:

   • Use the second FoV value and the same Width and Height.

4. Enter the 2nd FoV Value:

   • After the second import, enter the FoV value into "2nd FoV."

5. Calculate and Copy the Final FoV:

   • Copy the calculated value from "Final FoV."

6. Delete the Imported Meshes:

   • Clear the scene to prepare for the final imports.

7. Import All Mesh Files:

   • Use the calculated FoV value and the same Width and Height values from the log file.

8. Done!
