I have Brom Bones House and 221B Baker St. by meshbox that I bought from another 3d store ( there is no way to contact the vender there for this question) a while back and every so often I try and use them but I have a problem with cameras setting and cannot seem to get the whole room where it looks like a room if I zoom out I get the outside and if I zoom in I cannot get the whole room. Does anyone here have these two items that have made preset cameras for the rooms. I have tried to delete the outside walls but when I do the building gets deleted.

 

I bought DMs Dusty Attic the other day and it has preset cameras which I love. I am looking for cameras sorta of like that for the rooms of Brom Bones House and 2221b Baker St.

So is that TTFN or TANSTAAFL?

Thank you, I will try it over the next couple of days.

and I think I got that backwards

I think you zoom in with the longer focal length

Anyway smaller focal lengths have a wider field of view

Bear in mind the human eye has a focal length of 25mm, so even if you stand in a corner of a room, you'll most likely not see all of it at once.  We move our eyes around a lot and forget most of what we see is in tiny little pieces which our visual cortex stitches together into a seamless whole.

without adjustments, Poser mimics a normal digital camera. So 35mm focal length equals the good old 50mm from analog camaras. So, somewhere between 20mm - 15mm the fisheye effects will kick in (and vice versa, 100mm digital = 150mm analog is great for portraits).

One fun adjustment is to change the camera size, by scaling. Scaling up increases the distance between the lens opening and the capturing back plane and hence has the inverse effect of increasing the focal length (scale 200% and you need 70mm for the same result as scale 100% at 35mm). But there are differences, as the larger focal length will flatten the image and will effect Depth of Field (focal blur), independant of the camera size.

In other words, it works like in the real world.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.

visit www.aRtBeeWeb.nl (works) or Missing Manuals (tutorials & reviews) - both need an update though

Thank you-- I have never messed with the camera settings or the lights.

I set all my focal settings to 105. I read on the forum some years back that that is a professional photographer's setting. I think I had asked a question about the face camera and SP3's distorted looking head shape.
