I'm making a character and I didn't realise it before, but the head looks different in the face camera and front camera (up close) settings. Actually it looks completely different, smaller, shorter wider face. Is there a way to ensure that the head looks the same in all cameras? Thanks for any help or tips..

Set your Focal lengths to 110 mm

Sounds good, if I could find the place to do that!!! Thanks

There are two types of cameras, the studio (or 3D) cameras and the orthoganal cameras. The Left, Right, Top, Bottom, Front, and Back cameras are orthogonal cameras - they produce orthographic projections. In an orthographic projection, all objects appear flat. These cameras are different from the perspective views provided by the other cameras. In a perspective view, the scale of objects diminishes as their distance from the camera increases. The orthogonal cameras display flat perspectivefree scenes; the studio cameras display scenes in 3D. I hope this helps, Ericroy

If you have the camera selected, you will find the focal length dial on top of the list of dials for the camera. Poser sets the focal length to 35mm as default, which is a wide angle setting that distorts the face in close up shots.

Line the body/head up using the default pose The best way I have found doing head jobs is use the Face camera set to 110 mm Use only a couple of lights to cast shadows on the face. Rotate the body dial ( yrotate ) from side to front
