Player view = Camera with FOV=? LENS=?mm


(Browser [ICE]) #1

Just out of curiosity, if I want a 3d camera to mimic the player view’s perspective as seen in RTCW, I would have use what values for the FOV (degrees) and LENS (millimeters) ?

The lens focal length (the ‘size’ quoted for camera lenses) is a measurment of FOV, but what it means depends on film/sensor size (a 50mm lens on a 35mm film camera is not the same as a 50mm lense on a 4x5 camera, or 1cm sensor digicam). Google can help you out here, for example:
