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!!!
