3D Camera Properties

Position

X: Set the Camera position form left to right

Y: Set the Camera position form bottom to top

Z: Set the Camera position form front to back

 

Focus

X: Set the Camera "Look At" form left to right

Y: Set the Camera "Look At" form bottom to top

Z: Set the Camera "Look At" form front to back

 

Angle

Set the angle of the zoom.

A wider zoom will give more perspective.

A good perspective setting usually means a better sense of dimension...

As a reference, the human eyes has a field of around 60 degree (image in focus)

Therefore setting the camera at 60 degree and then moving the Camera CameraMoveToFrom will give a real-life like viewing.

 

Here's three example of camera settings where you can see the perspective in action

 

4 degree at 200 meters

SD_Camrea_View 4X200

 

60 degree at 18 meters

SD_Camrea_View 60X18

 

120 degree at 15 meters

SD_Camrea_View 120X15
