Hi,

I'm doing a space scene that contains a planet that is 2km in diameter. When I place my camera beyond -6km, I can't see the planet object. Is there a way to set the camera view so I can see objects at a far distance? My scene consist of a spaceship leaving from behind the planet and flying towards the camera. It would be much easier to animate if I could see everything in the camera view. :shrug:

Thanks.

have you tried changing the grid size? I think that it's the same as in Lightwave.....by using the [ & ] keys you can enlarge & reduce the grid & also the clip distance. A large grid helps when you want to move about quickly & a small one when you need to see large objects or move about more precisely......or is that the other way round?:shrug: ....anyway, try that it should help.

I have tried playing with the grid size and it doesn't work.
