View and Camera Config

This dialog gives the way to configure the preview and camera path.

View Settings

Selection of View0-View4 chooses the active preview panel 0-4. (Sorry, this is not working now. At now, top-left panel is always active.)

You can choose geometry of view from following 4 types.

In Perspective view, view angle here is "vertical" angle of the view.
In Panoramic view, a horizontal region from -view angle to +view angle is shown.
(Full circle image around camera is obtained at value of 180).
Vertical angle is fixed to about 70 degree in panoramic view.

Depth MIN/MAX

DepthMin/Max are clipping distances. Only objects with depth value (distance from the point of view) between DepthMIN and DepthMAX are shown on the screen.

Note that these values determine the accuracy of hidden surface removal process.
DepthMIN value should be large and DepthMAX value should be small as long as the depth values of objects are within the range between them.

With ill-chosen settings (too small DepthMIN or too large DepthMAX), calculation about which polygon are hidden and which polygon are visible fails due to the lack of resolution, and images would be break down like left image.
