EscCtrl Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Anyway to change focal length? (without just using the in game zoom as thats just too simple) The effect I want is to have background options looking big yet in the distance.The idea is you would stand far back and zoom in as opposed to actually moving toward the object for zoom (as modelled in the game) and yes the picture WOULD look different using each method I understand I can probably change the field of view or something in the config but is there a way to set it up real time? or would anyone give me an idea of what to do to make a camera settings mod? IMHO an advanced camera mode would be nice for focal length and general focusing and shutter speed - plenty of times where i needed this - i understand this would be the last thing on ED's list but if someone could point me in the right direction of where to read up or give me a list of simple things to sort to help build the mod I'd help - unless someone already has or will make one? :P Thanks
EscCtrl Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 Standard lockon F2 view example of what could be achieved with additional camera settings NB - The plane was at the same distance from the ship in both images (taken from the start of a saved mission - to get the second picture i had to use the F9 (ship) view then locate the plane in the view.
