questions about FOV in 3d max

[ayakiryu]

Hi I saw there is a functions called FOV in the camera mode in 3d max . Wondering is it good for present a character ?

FOV related to your camera angle (called Lens in max camera).
I don't know how to define"is it good" because you must have the FOV value when you have a camera.
You can't ignore the FOV when you are presenting the character.

what do you mean FOV function in camera mode?
FOV must be activated automatically when using any kind of camera.
it depends on your setting of FOV if you are talking about the suitability of presentation.

um...usually, wide angle lens for presenting full body of the character.
(e.g. 24mm lens, you will get a larger value of FOV)
Tele lens for medium or close up shot.
(e.g. 85mm lens, you will get a smaller value of FOV)
