Quote - rty, we've already identified the problem. It's the aspect ration.
Huh? Sorry I'm replying as I read.
Well, I'm happy you've identified the problem. Tell me in which version it's supposed to be fixed so I test it again.
Quote - You've got it exactly backwards. If you move the camera about, things appear larger or smaller in relation to each other. If you change the scaling, they don't. Changing the focal length while keeping the camera in position changes the scaling, nothing else.
Not sure I understood what you mean. If I change the focal length (what is "scaling"?), the red ball would appear bigger or smaller compared to the green thingamajig (different perspective), since it's far away.
If I only change the camera position, the relative size of the ball remains the same (same perspective), but everything gets smaller.
And yes, I'm pretty sure, working with cameras is how I make my living for over a decade... :-D
(Anyway, as I said, it's not about being right, it's about it working, period.)
