Gearsawe Stonecutter Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 In there any way via LSL to set the camera FOV (field of view)? Do I need to start a jira to for a feature request to add FOV to camera controls since this may be lacking?This is one of the setting in preferences. Ran across this problem recently when setting up a game board. Where using camera controls it set the camera so each person sees the same thing. THe board fit fine on my screen while a friends was cut off on top and bottom. After a bit of looking around found the problem by having him set his FOV back to default (CTRL-9) he then saw the same thing regardless of screen resolution as long as the screen width was large than the height.Note: use CTRL-8 and CTRL-0 to increase/decrease FOV.

Void Singer Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 all we have for camera controls in LSL are found here with llSetCameraParams being the most useful, but no FOV controls so you'll want to start that jira....I'd recommend it as an extension filed to llSetCameraParams, since there is no "get" that goes with it, it shouldn't be able to damage any existing scripts so would have a good chance at getting added and link back here so we can all watch it =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those keys are for zoom out and zoom in (changes the focal length of the camera lens) FOV is one of the graphic settings in preferences (decides how much of the world is rendered) None of them can be set in LSL even though they are all important if you want to communicate what you see with your camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearsawe Stonecutter Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Actually these keys change the View Angle in Preferences>>Move & View an the short cut key can decrease the angle more than the slider can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearsawe Stonecutter Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Thanks. I must be getting old. I get lost in the Jira these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void Singer Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 it's kinda messy... hard to tell where things should go and where they'll never get seen.... I'd cry if I were the person managing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
