hyldahldesign Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Does anyone know if there is a way to change the field of view setting of a walkthrough camera? When I open up the camera settings of my walkthrough camera, it looks almost identical to a standard overview camera settings dialog box except that there is no setting for changing the field of view. Am I missing something? Is this not possible? Any suggestions on how I can do this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution robdyck Posted October 2 Solution Share Posted October 2 (edited) You can only control this by changing the defaults for the Full Camera. If you preview the walkthrough, then change the defaults, then preview again, you should see the change. I should clarify: you can adjust the default with the preview open and see the change take place. Edited October 2 by robdyck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 (edited) This function is not quite dialled in!. Even if you create a stationary walkthrough from a camera, Chief won't use ALL the settings from that camera. Powerful tool but it requires careful user adjustment.

What settings are missing in the stationary walkthrough you would expect to carry over from the camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this specific topic, it would be helpful to be able to set the camera Field of View angle for a walkthrough in it's own dialog. When I create a stationary walkthrough from an existing camera, I need to review its Field of View, then adjust the default settings to match in order to create a stationary walkthrough that matches the original camera. Repeat that process for other cameras with different Field of View. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
