Good morning friends,
Looking at the Manual (very well written, thank you) we have a number of issues that we would like to follow up on:
1) On p. 33 Film Back: In a real camera the size of the film affects how big one can blow up an image (without getting too grainy). It isn't clear what exactly is the point here. How do we decide what size film we want to use? For the average architectural interior what size film would one use? How does the film size relate to the Rendering output size? And how do the two relate to how big you want to be able to print the resulting rendering?
2) On p. 35 Output Resolution: Quoting the Manual:
"By default, the camera uses what it calld the "Viewport" preset. When this is the chosen preset, the plugin will manage the output resolution based on the physical size of the associated viewport."
-- One usually generates a rendering out of the image in Rhino's Perspective viewport (right?) By "physical size of the associated viewport" are you referring to how big that viewport is on the screen? Meaning how big in inches (width x height). Then the Manual says:
"If, at any time, manual changes are made which affect the image or film size, the camera will switch to using the "Manual" preset.
-- By "manual changes" do you mean if we physically make the Perspective viewport bigger or smaller?
Thank you
