Hi Ben I may be missing your point here, but afaik focal length is expressed in mm wheereas backplanes ie. the Film Aperture (chip size in digital cameras) is expressed in inches - both as in Soft. We use this all the time and use Red and Alexa data to get it right when matching CGI to real footage, and are having no problems with it.
What exactly did you or the director want to do? cheers Morten Den 18. april 2013 kl. 11:43 skrev Ben Beckett <[email protected]>: > Hi > Maya's cameras clearly have a defined Focal Length Tab. > Where in Soft is this because sitting with the Driector yesterday soft > really did it self no favours, I was telling him how it a great app is but > he now not having any of it. > On the camera prop's menu there is the Focal Length but its in (mm) > , can it be switch, and why mm's. > Thanks > Ben > >
