Hello dear all,

here is another newbie question from me. I just bought the Shantara City scene and am overwhelmed by its size. How do you navitage throw such a large scene? How do you move around? With zoom and the move button it takes me iternity to get from one point to the other, or from a vantage point with the whole city to a detail on a building. How do you do it?

Hints and helps very much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Greetings
P.

    Hello Kerya,

    thank you very much for the speedy answer. I see, I can use the premade cameras. Good tip :-) But my question is also more general: Is there a trick to move or zoom say with 10 fold of speed? Just in case a big scene does not have premade cameras or if I need to position the camera at a place where there is no premade one?

    Again, thank you very much for the answer. Every tip is welcome for a new starter :-)

    In that case ... I am not using the Move or Zoom buttons, but the Parameters tab.
    Select the Camera in the Scene tab (if you are in Daz) or the Preview window selection thingie (Poser) and use the Parameters tab to put in numbers in the fields.
    I hope this doesn't sound too muddled.

    Ah, I see. Thank you very much for the answers. It's not muddled at all and very helpful.
