Other
Camera Properties
In the Parameter
pane, a camera has several tabs that offer different camera properties:
View
- This tab contains several parameters that are controlled
by the camera handles and a few that are not. This is where you
can set the render Resolution,
which in turn sets the frustum's aspect ratio. You can override
this value with a Render Operator.
You can also
set the Pixel Aspect ratio
for working with digital video and the Shutter
speed for working with depth of field.
Cameras also
have a Lens Curvature setting
for simulating realistic lens effects such as a fish eye lens. Note
that this option will turn off micropolygon rendering in Mantra
and should be used carefully.
Crop
- These parameters let you focus on a smaller portion of the camera
view. You can also rotate the camera around the line of sight.
Roto
- This tab lets you set up a background clip for rotoscoping. An
important tool when integrating live action and CG elements.
