Lens Type And Distance - Ulead COOL 3D User Manual

Ulead COOL 3D Production Studio

Lens type and distance

Choose from presets that simulate the specific lens type of a real-world camera and its motion
of zooming in and out of the workspace. Select Camera, under the Scene category of the
EasyPalette file directory to display the preset thumbnails. To modify the camera angle and
distance, show the Attribute Panel and select Camera in the Property List.
Drag the Camera lens slider to the left to
increase the focal length of the camera and
simulate a zoom lens. This shows a tighter
view of a scene but renders clearer details of
distant objects.
Drag the slider to the right to decrease the
focal length of the camera and simulate a
wide-angle lens. This shows a wider view of
the scene and makes objects look as if they
are moving towards you.
The Distance slider increases and decreases
the distance between the camera and the
objects in the scene.
By changing lens and distance values, you can
emphasize distortion, width, height and other
characteristics of objects in your scene and
direct the viewer to focus on them.
