Hmmm, that's odd. I'm definitely getting just over 12.7mm. (I'm using Poser 9 at the moment and the dolly camera - orbiting cameras have an inherent offset value which nobody seemed to be able to fully explain or give a precise value for - http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/?thread_id=2880985 )

I got my latest 12.7mm figure using this very simple empirical test setup, but that doesn't seem to be accurate enough*:

Set the focal length to my test value.

Set roll/pitch/yaw to 0/0/0 and render. Repeat with 0/0/90, 0/0/180, and 0/90/0 as a quadruple-check.

(*The reason for this question is that I want to be able to stitch a set of six square renders into a vertical cross cubemap without any seam problems)


The 3Dcheapskate (also available in DAZ and HiveWire3D flavours) 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.
