Why do you need a camera?
Camera is needed not only to save the view you like but also for various settings, among them such important options as View Limits, Depth of field, and Orthographic view.
By default, you see the scene through the default camera, which has no settings.
Camera is added here:
⚠️ When you add a camera to a scene, it does not automatically switch to its view. That is, you just set the camera in the right place, but don't look out of it yet. To enter it, click the button in the left or right bar:
Full Camera Guide
Camera parameters
Perspective and Orthographic
In the Orthographic projection, all objects and the distance between them will always look the same, no matter from which perspective we look and how far apart the objects are.
In the Perspective projection, we see the scene as in real life, for example, the size of the object decreases as it gets farther away from us.
Field of view
This option will help change the perception of the volume and size of the object. For example, being inside an ordinary cube, you can create the feeling of a huge hall. Or a toy rocket can turn into a giant spaceship.
Depth of field
Add realism to your scene by using focus. Choose an area that will be in focus, and everything outside of it will be blurred.
Focus offset — select an object to indicate what should be in focus. the rest will be blurred.
Intensity — blur intensity.
View Limits
This option allows you to create control over the view of your scene for the viewers.
It can be limited to a rotation of the camera, zoom, and panning.
If you set all values to 0, the scene will be completely still.
You can see the result in the Preview mode.
Turntable
The Turntable option is part of the camera settings, not the entire scene. This provides greater flexibility in managing the scene.
Enable this option, activate the camera view, and switch to Preview mode to see how it functions.
Duration — defines the time for a full rotation, affecting rotation speed
Easing — controls the smoothness of acceleration; higher values mean smoother transitions
Resume — automatically resumes rotation after scene interaction
Resume Delay — sets the wait time before rotation resumes
Rotation occurs around the camera's Focal point
Custom aspect ratio
Custom Aspect Ratio is a useful camera setting that keeps the scene the same regardless of the size of the display or browser.
This guarantees that the distance from the model to the edges of the set frame stays the same.
The ratio can be specified manually for each camera, such as 4:3
, 16:9
, 1:1
, 9:16
, 21:9
, etc.
This also works for downloading an image, allowing you to get PNGs with different aspect ratios.
