Rick, Thanks for your help. Let me see if I can clarify what I am trying to say. As far as perspective, changing the focal length is changing the perspective. (ie. you can go from fish eye to telephoto type lens) But in Turbo Silver I not sure if theres a way to set the focal length to say, a regular 50mm lens, and the "zoom" in and out on the object making it appear closer or futher away as you wish. Not so much like a zoom lens, but more like true magnification of the object. It is especially hard to get a good view of a large object such as one generated by Terrain. Also, note that above when I say object I don't mean just the object the camera is focusing on, a mean a magnification, or demagnification, of the universe overall. I've found that I get very frustrated with Silver because all I want to do is a simple zoom(Like in VideoScape or even CAD-3D for the ST) and I am unable to do it. Anyway, I wouldn't trade Silver for ANYTHING. Execpt maybe Imagine!!!!!!! Thanks Again, -Chris P.S. Sorry about all the typos above. I've had a looooooooooong day trying finish up a Fortran(yuch!) application for one of my classed. My brain is msm\h. Uhh…Make that mush!!!
