Title: camera veiw point
Post by: Vega59 on September 16, 2011, 04:35:12 PM
Hey guys

I recently came across T2 and have been spending the last few days getting to grips with the basics of the program. Managed to create my first landscape, all be it was crap composition. None the less i have been finding it difficult to get a good veiw point in which to build my scene. Is there anyway to increase the POV so it looks like a wide angle/panorama. I think that if i can increase my preview window during construction it may allow me to find a better view point to build my terrain.

Any thoughts guys.

Hi and welcome to the wonderful world of Terragen :)
Two points, firstly always make sure you press bottom left icon in the preview window, (Icon of a camera pointing to a picture with the words "Copy this view to the current render camera") to get the settings to update your preview. And secondly you can change the FOV in the camera dialogue. If you make a change there before you've pressed the above button you will not see your update.
Hope this helps.
