A method for positioning of cameras on an object that enables accurate rendering of the scene around the object on a dome accurately in real time. The method involves providing a 3D model of the object having a surface, and selecting locations on the surface where the cameras are to be placed to provide a camera rig. The choice of locations is such that every camera has a field of view that overlaps with at least one other camera. The cameras are designated as Direct View Camera (DVC) or a Secondary View Camera (SVC). The method to render a virtual scene includes providing a projection rig that includes a plurality of projectors within a hollow half-sphere, wherein the hollow half-sphere includes an inner surface and an outer surface. Each of the plurality of projectors is designated as a Direct View Projector (DVP) or a Secondary View Projector (SVP).
