Having cam troubles, can anyone help?

[Larryk Dagger]

Ok, my problem is that I cannot get my cam set right. By that I mean I cannot get my cam to stay in a position that allows me to see things very well when I am walking or other-wise moving around. I know where my problem is at, I just can't figure out how to fix it. In Preferences, under the Input & Camera tab, the Camera View Angle is doing the job of the Camera Follow Distance, while it does nothing when I adjust the slider for it. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the SL main viewer, the SL Release Candidate, Snowglobe, and even Emerald. I have the same problem in all of them. I am currently using Snowglobe as it's the only viewer that I've tried that doesn't render sculpties as spheres (I know what the problem causing this is and I'm working on getting it fixed).

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Larryk,

Try using the keyboard commands to position your camera.  ALT-PageUp and ALT-PageDown for vertical angle.  CTRL-8 to zoom out and CTRL-0 to zoom in.  Once the camera is in position, it seems to stay that way for me.

Thanks for the advice, Cinn. It worked. ;-)
