Same thing. There is an center of interest distance in the camera PPG. When you have a separate interest it is controlling this attribute. when you delete the interest it reverts to using this value in the camera PPG. (similar to how up vector constraints work)
I also think when you delete the interest the value seems to get reset to something small because it is a little hard to zoom until you do a frame or frame all to reset the interest. -- Brent From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Eric Thivierge Sent: 21 September 2012 15:45 To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: zoom limits What if you delete the interest? -------------------------------------------- Eric Thivierge http://www.ethivierge.com On Sat, Sep 22, 2012 at 12:37 AM, Brent McPherson <brent.mcpher...@autodesk.com<mailto:brent.mcpher...@autodesk.com>> wrote: That is actually a tricky one because when you zoom in the Nav tool you are not changing the FOV but rather moving the camera closer to the interest. (e.g. the point about which the camera orbits) When the camera reaches the interest you can't go any further. In Maya when you start zooming and the distance between the camera and the interest gets small they reset the interest to some fixed distance further from the camera. So you zoom in close, release the mouse and on the next zoom the interest will be reset and you can zoom some more. This solution is probably the best compromise but requires some care to ensure the zooming feels smooth. -- Brent -----Original Message----- From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com> [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com>] On Behalf Of Len Krenzler Sent: 21 September 2012 14:46 To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage@listproc.autodesk.com> Subject: Re: zoom limits I've always wondered about that too. Seems odd and maybe should be added to the "small annoying things" list.
