Perspective and orthographic views

Perspective view is a “real-world” perspective of the objects in your scene. In this view, objects close to the camera appear larger, and lines of identical lengths appear different due to foreshortening, as in reality. orthographic view, objects are always the same size, no matter how far their distance from the camera. Parallel lines never touch, and there’s no vanishing point. It’s easy to tell if objects are lined up exactly in orthographic view. view camera gizmo as it faces you. 0.7 倍 1.0 倍 1.2 倍 1.5 倍 2.0 倍

Field of view

You can change the camera field of view. This changes the camera frustum, and has the effect of zooming in and out of the scene. At high settings (90 and above), the field of view creates stretched “fish-eye lens” views. The default setting is 45.

Near and far planes

The near and far planes determine where the camera’s view begins and ends.

• near plane is the closest point the camera can see. The default setting is 0.1. Objects before this point aren’t drawn.
• far plane, also known as the draw distance, is the furthest point the camera can see. Objects beyond this point aren’t drawn. The default setting is 1000. Game Studio renders the area between the near and far planes.

  Camera speed

  camera speed setting changes how quickly the camera moves in the editor.
