Okay, I'm having a brain f*rt right now. I'm working in Poser 13 and I have a LARGE scene (Goldenwood vol 1 & vol 2). When I try to pull waaaaay back, the geometry is getting "clipped" and it vanishes when it reaches a certain distance away.

• I do NOT have "Depth cued" turned on

• I have experimented with many different focal length settings (from 10 - 100)

• I have tried multiple display settings, include the default preview and the Comic Style

SO, what boneheaded setting have I hit that I need to change?

On each camera, you have these two values:

Hither controls the smallest distance between the cam and any object: smaller = invisible, larger = visible
Yon controls the opposite: smaller = visible, larger = invisible

So, to be visible, an object must be in-between. Which explains why when you zoom out too far, part of your scene may become hidden, you'll just have to increase Yon till you can see them again.

Rather than small vs. big, hither and von control clipping on distance close vs. far in relation to the camera. But otherwise, Y-Phil is correct.

Lol... I was pretty sure I didn't have the right words...

Thank you BOTH so much. I knew it was something simple that I wasn't doing correctly. This is EXACTLY the info I needed!

FWIW, 'HITHER' can provide Muggles' X-Ray vision, by letting you position camera outside room and make intervening wall / tall furniture invisible.

Handy for forest scenes, too, when otherwise ideal camera location is right behind a tree...

Thanks. I played around with that and it worked like a charm. I made a house wall vanish without having to toggle visibility on the wall! Neat trick!
