What Is the Standard Lens Length in Maya 3D?
I recently wrote an answer on Quora to the following question: What Is the Standard Lens Length in Maya 3D? The question: This may be tricky for people who have only Maya 3D skills and no photography knowledge to answer. A "standard lens" is a focal length which for a given size of film plane (or sensor) will neither widen nor magnify the image it captures. For example, a 50 mm lens on a full frame 35mm sensor is considered a standard lens. I know perspectives can be matched using Maya 3D camera options, but what is the default equivalent of the sensor size in the program? My reply: Indeed, many artists with no experience in photography will not be able to easily understand the relationships between focal length and sensor sizes / ratios. Having worked in the "camera department" on Hollywood films, it has given me great insight into the relationships between the physical camera and the virtual one in Maya. Maya does not make it easier. What we
