In Flickerstreak's example above, 'a' is only like enlarging or cropping if you use the + and - magnifiers on a rendered pic, and then hit the render button again. If you use those + and - buttons in the work window, you get another type of 'zoom' that is independent of the FOV control. Combining the two, along with camera movement, can give some very bizarre results. Likewise, using the pan tool in the work window is different to using it on a rendered pic. Add that into the mix and things can get very odd. Believe it or not, this is just three identical square columns in a straight line, each one pointing straight up out of the ground. I love Bryce. :-)
