Perspective Camera (settings?)

Hi there,

I’ve been trying the new ZB Demo with all its impressiveness ty Pixologic
The one thing I wanted to ask about is:

–Is there a way of changing the FOV in the default perspective camera?
I can see an evolution from ZB2 camera wise, but models still end up looking a bit “ortho-like” on the viewport sometimes.

Just wanted to ask if there’s a way of changing this? Or should I just get used to it? Nothing to detract from ZB which I’m really enjoying mostly the amazing pixol painting stuff :+1:

Also can someone pls help me start a poll here on ZB central to figure something?

I wanna know if it’s general opinion that ZB is better than Matzos.
I for one cannot figure this one, but would say it’s definitely Kosher imho

In the Draw palette there is a slider called Focal Length
this is what you’re looking for.

Thanks Christian found it.
Doesn’t seem to be doing much I wonder if I’m missing on something?

Hope it’s not being picky, it’s not that I think it’s a problem.
Just things still look more “ortho” than expected, and they’ll render differently in another app from what I can tell.

Moving the Focal Lenght slider has a VERY apparent effect.
If you fell like nothing is happening is that
maybe you’re not in perspective mode.
Press P.

WOW! Thanks Christian!
I think I’ve just witnessed how nice the new perspective mode is excuse the newbness.

Now I want to get ZB to initialise to perspective mode.
Is “P” the only way I wonder? There’s no panel for this?
Maybe I should rtfm but I never found out about “P” in there.
Sorry to be a pain am having the typical? newb fits here lol

Whichever case really really nice stuff :idea:

zbrush won’t initialize in Perspective mode because that is tool dependant, you have to activate it for each tool. you can make a small macro that would toggle between on/off with different settings.
also what is Matzos?

K so it looks like “P” IS the answer then :smiley:
Matzos are these really Kosher bread biscuits you can buy in packs I think.
So nm just coming on to the ZB family and having a fit…

I guess it’s really worth the effort learning ZB.
I would have never guessed about perspective mode though hee hee
