Zooming out from photomatch for render
-
Hi!
I have a problem that I'm, either not aware how to fix, or it's a "bug".
But hopfully fixable with a script.
After doing a Photomatch I needed to zoom out to get the whole building in view for the render.
That worked in SU and I created a new zoomed out scene and thought I'd render that.
But when rendering with Thea4SU the Zoomed out view wasn't working as in the SU view.
Why?
See attached SU file.
Edit:(file was a bit too big (6mb) so here is a link to it on dropbox instead.)

I tried everything, resaving, cutting and pasting into new file, using advanced camera tools to set up physical cameras, literally everything i could throw at it and it still wouldn't work.
I guess it's just software limitation...not really a bug. Since it happens with more than one renderer...
I generally find photomatching really really difficult to use..only been successful a couple of times.

Solved.
After doing some tests I tried running a simple rubyscript to change the focal length...and it worked.
model = Sketchup.active_model view = model.active_view camera = view.camera camera.focal_length=28To prove it I also made two quick renders and composited them
in Photoshop.
I scaled them manually so there is a minor differency between them
but the obvious thing is that they match in perspective.Jan

Simple and powerful solution. Thank you for sharing!
