Quote - > Quote - In Lux, the field of view refers to the longer side of the viewport. In Poser it always refers to the width. That's why for images that are wider than high, a correction term is needed.
odf - look above, you're dealing with
if width > height
width being the longer side
Clearly the interpretation HAS CHANGED.
You and I tested this extensively two weeks ago. It was PERFECT.
Sorry, I got slightly confused! The longer side is what the manual says, but my version (and Dizzi's, apparently) seems to be using the shorter side.
My point was that Lux does not measure the angle of view like Poser does. You may be right that different versions of Lux do it inconsistently and we should be careful.
