Lock camera position.

[Charolotte Caxton]

Hello all. My camera is poised by default slightly behind me and over my head. If I move the camera, when I begin to walk it goes back to being behind my head. Is there a way to lock the camera into position anywhere I want?

I use Viewer 2.6.3

Thank you

Hello Charolotte. Click the View Button, its exactly beside the button we get sceenshots --> click the button with the eye --> Choose Frond View or Side View. With the mouse wheel you zoom in / zoom out.

Also, Menu Menu Preferences --> Tab View & Move --> There you can change: a)View angle and b) Distance

Hmmm, those are ok. What I was hoping for was, when I move my camera, I want it to stay where I put it relative to me as I move, kinda like as if my camera were an attachment.

If i am right today i saw another one girl to ask for that in forums. I dont think that its possible Charolotte. Unfortunately.

I don't know about 2.6.3.   Phoenix makes it easy.  Preferences >> Input & Camera >> Camera View Angle and Camera Follow Distance.   There should be debug settings in V2 that do the same thing.  Check your debug settings menu.

Ok Rolig, thanks, I will.

I'm having the same problem all of a sudden on the phoenix viewer!!!! All i can see is my feet at the top of the screen... i've tried the preference>input & camera options, but as soon as i go to walk.....it zooms back in on my feet! PLEASE HELP!! i'm pulling my hair out at this point

@ Trixvixen, try http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=camera

The quickest fix for this is to reset the CameraOffsetRearViewer which you can do by pressing CTRL+ALT+Shift+S in Firestorm. 

You can also follow the directions to reset your view for different circumstances here https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/fs_camera

Apparently some of these settings get changed when applying other settings.

And of course it was so important to answer that question after 9 years. All that years the OP has waited for that answer. 🤣

I have seen messages popping up warning I am about to post in a thread not posted in for ### days... When the thread comes up in search I see the notice at the top of the page. If I scroll to the reply window there is a notice just above it.

Yep, this started a month or two ago.  Yet, apparently, too many people don't both reading that notice or don't care.

Or at least from anyone who's forum account is less than a few months old or those that haven't posted a certain number of posts yet - sort of like how we can't change out title until we hit 500 posts.
