Camera Settings
Camera setting controls are selected below the map area. The data entry field expects the name of a POV-Ray include file. This file contains initial Camera and Light positions, plus Scale factors. Default file "camera.inc" is provided, with instructions. Initial Camera positions are retrieved from camera.inc values. A red arrow "Camera" flies around the map while adjusting the sliders for Camera and Target positions. This action provides very quick setup of the POV-Ray camera. As of this GT version, there is no similar visual feedback for the y (low-high) adjustments, except to just render. Camera setting is modal - you must acknowledge Done to leave the control panel... then camera.inc and camera.pov files are written. This action provides Undo capability. |

Light Settings
Light setting controls are selected below the map area. Initial Light positions are retrieved from camera.inc values. - Light 1 is main, - Light 2 is on camera, and - Light 3 is back. The naming convention (main, on camera, and back) is meant to emulate classical photographic lighting, and helps keep setup easy... but you do not have to "follow the rule". Blue circle "Lights" fly around the map, while adjusting the sliders for Light positions. This action provides very quick setup of the POV-Ray lights. As of this GT version, there is no similar visual feedback for the y (low-high) adjustments, except to just render. Light setting is modal - you must acknowledge Done to leave the control panel... then camera.inc and camera.pov files are written. This action provides Undo capability. |
