Edit the Camera

By customizing the camera's position, angle, rendering image resolution, and rendering image quality, you can view and render your models from multiple perspectives and create a more distinctive scene.

Define the Camera's Rendering Resolution

Choose from a list of presets or enter a custom width and height.

On the Rendering tab, select the Editors tool.
The Render Editor appears.
Select the Camera tab.
In the Render Editor, you can do the following:
- Select from a list of Presets.
- Enter a custom Width and Height.
  Tip:
  - To maintain the aspect ratio, select Keep Aspect Ratio.
  - To swap the width and height, click the Swap button.

Define the Camera's Rendering Quality

Configure various options such as panoramic, depth of field, exposure, tone mapping, filtering, and rendering effects.

On the Rendering tab, select the Editors tool.
The Render Editor appears.
Select the Camera tab.

In the Render Editor, you can define the following options:


Option	Description
Exposure Value (EV)	Controls the camera's shutter speed. Lower values result in brighter images. For an overly bright scene, use a positive value. For an overly dark scene, use a negative value.
Depth of Field	Adjust the camera focal point and the distance of the focal area. Use a large DOF when you want the entire image to be sharp. Use a small DOF when you want to emphasize the subject and de-emphasize the foreground and background. By default, the camera is automatically focused on the closest point in the scene. Note: Depth of Field requires Display Mode to be set to Quality Render. Focus Range % Adjust the range of points that will stay in focus. A smaller range will blur more of the surrounding scene. Manual Focus Use the following options to manually focus on a certain point or distance from the camera. You can apply each option independently of the other option, but if you select a focal point, the Focus Distance automatically updates to reflect the point's distance from the camera. Focus Distance The distance from the camera to focus on. Select Focal Point Use the mouse to select a point to focus on.
Tone Mapping	White Balance (K) Can be used to balance an image using color temperature. A value of 6500K is usually used to balance light coming from the sun. Filmic The Filmic option only works if you turned on Filmic in the Camera/Rendering settings. Highlights Higher values will make highlights stronger. Shadows Higher values will make shadows darker. Burn The burn value minimizes the burnt areas of an image. Lower values will reduce burnt areas. You can use Burn to compress a high dynamic range into a low dynamic range image, displayable on screens and other limited range devices. Setting Burn to 100% has the same effect as disabling it. Gamma Default value: 2.2. Lower values will make the image darker while higher values will give a washed-out look. Gamma correction is important if you want to display an image accurately on a computer monitor. It controls the overall brightness, as well as the ratios of red to green to blue, of an image. Without proper gamma correction, the image can look bleached out or too dark. Sharpness The default value (50%) is a balance between blurring and sharpening. Only applicable when Supersampling is set to Normal or High. A value near 0% will produce a more blurred image, while a value near 100% produces a more sharpened image. Chroma Chroma enhances the color of the image, acting like a saturation control. Higher values result in more saturated images. Setting Chrome to 0% has the same effect as disabling it. Brightness Use a value from ‐100% to 100% to control the tone of the texture. A brightness of ‐100% makes the image completely black. Contrast Higher values will give higher contrast.
FX	Glare Introduces a bloom effect in the final image. Choose from Radial, 5 Blades, 6 Blades, 8 Blades, or 12 Blades. Weight: Controls the intensity of the glare effect. Radius: Define the length of the blades. Vignetting It mimics the phenomenon where light comes through the lenses near the edges. Higher values will make the edges of the image look darker.
Coordinates	Position Enter precise x, y, z coordinates or drag the Position point in the modeling view to change the camera's position. Target Enter precise x, y, z coordinates or drag the Target point in the modeling view to change the camera's target. Orientation Enter precise x, y, z coordinates to change the camera's orientation. Note: In the modeling window, drag the rectangle of Field of View to resize the observable area seen through the camera.
