If you save a 3D view it will retain the FOV you have set. Maybe this is this what you were after.

It seems to generate a lot of distortion, in that it stretches everything out.

Move back or widen the field of view, which distorts the image.<BR /> <BR /> If you choose the first option perhaps you can temporarily move a wall or create a polygonal marquee in such a way that it allows you view what you need from the outside.

The view cone can't be a field of view, as I pointed to in my article, cause field of view should not distort the image. There must be some other terminology to explain this "view cone" thing. In photography terms, what is this called?

If anything, I'd say your article runs counter to your argument. There is no cropping when rendering. "You are wanting a 14mm FoV from a 50mm lense. You are standing to close".<BR /> <BLOCKQUOTE>Some people might argue that the focal length impacts distortion indirectly, because a wider lens requires one to get closer to the subject to keep the same framing on the subject. That’s definitely true...</BLOCKQUOTE> <BR /> <BR /> Ling.
