I think you will find this is because the ball has been sunk in to the grass just like a normal ball would if this was real.
Put a ball on grass and look at it from that perspective ---- it would look the same. |

As you can see there appear to be some perspective challenges to the viewer. |

Are 2 Points..
One) Stoker has right. the ball is a little lower than the top of the grass blades..
Two) the camera have a distortion because is in wide angle.. thats deform the sphere..
But is a perfect sphere.. be sure of that... |

Here is an example with a wide angle camera..
Yope you understand.. |

My guess would to be focus past the golf ball so there wouldn't be any distortion. |

1) James, im cinemathographer . i know a lot of camera lens..a 50 lens is called normal lens.. any lens lower than 50 are calling wide lens a between 20 and 10 are fishe eyes.. Any wide lens make ALLWAYS deformation on the image.. and any lens more than 50 tele or teleobjectives do the same but the image be flated..
2) The center of the image is not the ball. you are correct. i cut the image to make a better composition. the center is a little upper than the hole not the ball..
Here is a render without the picture of the background and few blades of grass..

Focus/point of view change appears to be better, but the bottom of bottom completely disappearing in the grass gives the illusion that the bottom of the doesn't exist. |

btw...if your wide angle camera distorts the view that much either the camera is corrupted or you are doing something terribly wrong. |

1) Any camera distort the image in more or less quantity and quality.. if you had a 40~200 zoom lens you can clearly see on a wide angle the distortion..
Ligthworks and Vray doesnt use a spherical distorition.. Vray from max have lens simulation, and Virtualight have too.. and thats the most similar distortion from a render.. here its an example rendered on Virtualight with wide lens effect..
4600
Thats try to simulate the reality..
And dont take this as ofence but i think its enough .. If you dont like it.. are many others good renders on this forum..
NEXT!!! |

Thanks.. i want to show the first image.. but as you can see, the left side need more grass.. for that i cut the image to a better composition..

Why? Because I know for a fact that wide angle only gives a barrel distortion and it won't occlude objects in a direct point of view?
Chuckle! Where do you get your facts from dude? The 'Grumpy Old Mans Weekly'?
Fact: Prodigy is a cinematographer and is therefore likely to know what he's talking about when it comes to lenses.
Fact: I'm a photographer with 35 years of experience and therefore it's likely I know what I'm talking about when it comes to lenses.
Fact: All lenses - that's ALL lenses - create some degree of distortion which is why high quality lenses have extra lens components to compensate.
Fact: Typically a 35 mm film camera will have a standard lens which approximates the amount of distortion caused by the lens in the human eye. Such a camera lens has a focal length of 50 millimetres. As Prodigy has correctly said, longer focal lengths (ie a telephoto lens) appear to flatten the resultant image proportionally to the increase in focal length.
A shorter focal length will distort objects not oriented to the specific centre of the image - again as Prodigy pointed out.
Fact: Wide angle lenses do not create barrel distortion. They create spherical distortion which increases toward the edges of the image.
Fact: I'm interested in what you have to say but I'm rapidly running out of patience with the needlessly impolite way with which you say it.
Pointless and obnoxious supposition; You stood to close to that cyclotron mate - you need to deguass your 'nice guy' circuits.
For the sake of the reading pleasure of all involved with this community please aim to moderate your tone. |

Yo Prodigy. Love your golf ball pics. Additionally I love the way that the ball appears distorted as though it's in a photo taken with a wide angle lens. If this were a photo a wide angle lens would be essential to capture a sharply focussed image over such a great focal length - this woul inevitably introduce some spherical distortion, exactly as depicted in your picture - well done sir a fine touch. |
