Brian, as a professional photographer, I thought you would see the advantage of an isometric lens(non-perspective). I have had to spend hours adjusting the angle on a bellows lens, to get rid of vanishing points in (real life)architectural shots. this is essentially the same in a Carrara rendering. this is especially helpful in "graphic design" applications, such as logo's, web site buttons and graphics, etc.
Carl, you are on a Mac right? So maybe this is a Mac bug. I have not checked the tracker, but it needs to be reported. |
Rickei,
You have a major attitude problem. Stop arguing with Brian and learn to respect your elders and listen to their wisdom. Just kidding

I agree for logos the conical camera may not be the best bet. I designed a logo in Carrara using the standard conical camera but my client wanted a more 2-D perspective with no vanishing points. It took me a while to learn how to use the isometric camera. To zoom in and out I rember I used the controls in the cameras properties tray rather than use the zoom in an out magnifiying glass icon because it would distort my images. I hope this method will still work in Carrara 6. I have just order Carrara 6 Pro on CD so I can test this out soon. For logos isometric might work best (front view).
Brian,
With the conica camera the vanishing piont decreases using a telephoto lens vs the standar lens in the properties tray. Is this the way things work in the real world? Zoom in on an obect using conica camera in the properties tray vs zooming in with the isometric camera using the properties tray. It should look very different.
