I know it does..but it in my experience distorts the view. Trying it now...just to make sure I'm not losing my mind:) Ok...yeah...rotation is nominally fine..but pan...etc are slightly effected..probally due to the fact that the camera is technically in its same location....really I see no point in zooming using the directors cam..its just as quick to press the e key and move the mouse.... The see through problem you are seeing with poser objects is a known bug....was somewhat fixed as trav said in CS3... Brian brian@vizualds.com http://www.vizualds.com
