Softimage - Camera settings

Camera used for rendering

The Maxwell plugin needs a Camera view to render, the current Camera used for rendering can be chosen from Render>Pass Options>Pass Camera.

Aspect Ratio

It is important to make sure that the Picture Ratio and Aspect Ratio in Camera Properties/Scene options are the same. Otherwise your renders will look stretched.

Setting the focus distance

There are two ways to determine the area that will be in perfect focus in the render:

  • the default is using the location of the Camera Interest. If the Camera doesn't have a Camera Interest, the Focus Distance in the MaxwellCameraAttrs is used (see below).

  • set the focus distance manually from the custom parameter set added by the plugin (Camera_Root>Camera>MaxwellCameraAttrs - "Use Manual Focus distance"). The units are Softimage units.
