        Not cheap/inexpensive no.

        It works (Windows only), it saves time, it saves aggrevation, it is a perpetual licence. From what I understand it makes use of 3rd party software/code which is licenced, nobody else has been able to bring a solution to market since ever.

        Rather say you can't afford it, no shame in that.

        Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

          I've made a plugin that opens the advanced camera settings window on rightclick if you want to adjust clipping plane manually.

            Not meaning to whine, but this all raises the question of why no such camera parameters dialog has ever been available on Mac - meaning it isn't even possible to create the equivalent of Daniel's plugin!

              Be aware that if you set the Near value too low you can create other problems. You might end up with something like this:

                Doesn't this work on Mac?

                  No. It's a PC thing only.

                      Using Pixero's solution, if the z fighting effect happens, uncheck the "force" box and zoom out. The camera near distance resets and the z fighting effect should disappear.

                        Yes. I found that works. I was just advising that one shouldn't just set a very small Near value and expect it to work for all camera positions.
