Crazy perspective camera

naked_chicken

So I'd like to try to recreate some crazy perspective like some of Escher's work:



Setting the camera's FOV higher just gives me a distorted image, I want to change the FOV in only one direction and capture more than 180 degrees. Kind of like doing a scene capture with part of a cylinder and rendering that to the screen.

I'm only starting to learn unrealscript and would appreciate a little push in the right direction. If anybody has any insight it would be much appreciated.

There is a trick where you point the camera at a reflective sphere to get the fisheye effect. Obviously not the most efficient, but might give you a starting point at least? If you put one of the SceneCaptureCubeMapActors in your scene you'll see the effect immediately.
