Marcus Hancroft Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Howdy, Everbody!I have just completed work on some new eyes. All the creation work is done, but I have no idea how to photograph them so that the vendor graphic looks nice. I've tried different angles, close up's, distances, and every snapshot looks terrible. I wear a cowboy hat inworld and in closeup shots with the angle up towards my eyes, my hat looks like it's miles too big for my head. So, I took it off. Then my forehead looked huge. It was a mess. :-)I'd appreciate any help you can give on how to photograph eyes so they look natural and are close enough in the photo so that customers can actually see the color and details.Thanks in advance!Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren Toxx Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Change your camera's angle of view (Ctrl + 0 narrows it, Ctrl + 8 widens it, and Ctrl + 9 resets it) in conjunction with actually moving it closer or farther from your face, until you manage the desired closeup without the associated perspective distortion you describe. Most likely in your case you'll need to narrow the angle about two or three steps - therefore two or three presses of Ctrl + 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give that a try in a bit and let you know if that worked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Hancroft Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Good Mornin, Ren! I just wanted to let you know that your suggestion did the trick! I was able to take photos just like I wanted using the Ctrl-0 trick! Thanks again! Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
