Hi S=C3=B8r= en,

I do almost all of my fulldom= e work in After Effects, from beginning to end - I use a different dome p= lugin than that one, but that's the most commonly used one and yes, it's = practically essential to have that kind of tool to bend images for the cu= rved screen.

I'm not sure i= f this is a limitation with the plugin you're looking= at, but the one I use only takes position input in polar coordinates=E2=80= =A6 which makes it hard to fly objects around in anything other than= spirals. I have some expressions to convert a null object's cartesian co= ordinates to polar. I have also had some success making a 5-camera rig in= AE, allowing me to do things like scrolling credits and flying through T= rapcode Particular generated scenes.

If you don't already have the ladybug, a= lso look at http://dome3d.com, which sells rigs of 5 or 6 GoPro vide= o cameras for stitching into fulldome format.  The final resolution = is comparable. (Disclosure, I don't work for them, don't own their rig or= a ladybug for that matter. But I know the guys there, and they are exper= ienced fulldome people.)

Something else to think about - will you have access = to a dome you can test footage on=3F

We have been asked to do some full dome work= . 
I have been googling around finding info to decide on t= he workflow for after effects.
We mainly have to do animation o= nly but also do some titling of live action shot with the ladybug3 c= amera as well.

=46or those who have been doing d= ome stuff before, what are your favourite workflow=3F 
And= is the  fulldome plugin (http://software.multimeios.pt/fulldome/) worth the= price=3F
