I'm trying to work out the maths for a PoserPython script to move the DollyCam to same position/orientation as the Main/Aux cam and this prompts a couple of questions:
Q1: Does anybody know the exact distance that the orbiting cameras are offset from their centres of rotation (i.e. is it documented anywhere, or do I just go with the best figure I can come up with?)
I can't quite get my head round how the DollyX/Y/Z is affecting the actual camera position. I thought that the DollyX/Y/Z was actually setting the exact centre of rotation, but this is clearly not the case.
Q2: How does the DollyX/Y/Z affect the actual camera position?
(Edit: Poser 6 is exactly the same)
The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident. And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU or something else.
