Noob question: how do you change the angle of the render?

Drekkan

How do you change the angle of what you want reality to render? what I mean by this is no matter how I change the image angle in Daz whether its a close up or faraway shot or whatever ...its still the same distant shot I started with no matter what. I am obviously missing something on a noob level.

This is for Daz by the way not poser.

Yes I know how to change the camera's using Daz but I am wanting to know how to make the different camera angles work when rendering with reality.

You need to make sure the camera Reality is using is the same camera you are using in DS. The defaut when you start up a new scene in DS doesn't create a camera (just uses the perspective view camera, which isn't a "real" camera). If you didn't create a camera, IIRC Reality will create one for you when you start it up. You just need to change to that camera in the DS viewport and use it to set up the view for Reality.

Hope this helps.

Reality is also quirky in that if you imported a pre-existing DAZ scene, it can happen that the camera settings will never transfer to Reality no matter what you do and you'll never get the render you want. If this is what is happening, then you have to start a new scene and export/import (scene subsets are fine) one piece at a time and render each time to see if it works. If something doesn't render properly, then there was probably something in that item that Reality didn't like.

I get what you mean but it still seemingly makes no difference and I don't get it. See in pic one I did the new camera at V4's face but as you can see in the reality rendering it goes back to the other camera despite me making a new camera. Makes no sense.

Changing the viewport camera from Perspective View to Camera1 (see attached) should solve the problem.

OK I understand now. Thankyou.

Hope it works - I still remember doing the same thing, and trying to figure it out back with the first version of Reality

Ya it can be confusing.
