Newbee question about camera positioning


#1

Hi all,
I am a newbee at wings, but I think it’s a great modeller! But i cant find one feature - precision camera positioning. Is there a possibility to position camera by typing x,y,z ? All I have found are the properties of the camera (View->camera settings) - but it’s not enough for me :slight_smile:

for sure.

you may have found it alread

under view in the top menu bar, there is an View Along option. There you can set the camera to view along x y or z, you’ll see they also have shortcuts. Or if you want to set your own short cut just press / when you have the camera angle highlighted and press the key you want to set they shortcut too.

That is not exactly what I meant to… I think my english is far too bad to explain this :wink:

For example
I want to place camera at < -10.0 , -10.0 , 2.0 > and look at <0 , 0 , 0>
Is there a possibility to do it by entering (typing) values?
(of course I can export to yafray and modify xml file instead… - but I want to do it directly in wings :wink: )

No.

However, if you’ve not already been using them, you’ll find that View | Aim, Frame and Align to Selection, together with the Saved View option might be useful.

Using the Bounding Box facilities also offers ways of moving objects around in a precise manner.
