Field of view

[Krisztian Gulyas]

What do you think about a field of view of a 100 degree? Im making a small room but i have to show everything so would it be a good choice to use a 100 or 110 degree FOV or can you tell another way how could i show everything on a single picture because this way it will look a bit strange in my opinion?

Take the wall behind you out and pull back a little .

If you try to show everything in one view, it almost never results in a good image. That goes for interiors and exteriors. I'm guessing this came from the client wanting more for his money. Two images would be better, or maybe doing a 360° QTVR would be a good idea if the client needs to see everything?

It's not done yet, I just think it's going to look weird but i'm not sure

but then the lighting is going to be different. I mean the light won't bounce back from that wall.

A FOV of 100 is right around a 15mm lens. This lens is only a little smaller than what I would consider to be a very typical interior lens for Architecture (18 -20mm). I think the edges are going to look stretched, but otherwise it should look fairly standard. In my experience, clients love wide cameras and are rarely concerned with the edges being stretched a bit.

Actually there are small details that must on the same image.

Not if you hide the wall from the camera in the object properties. The wall is invisible to the camera but is still in your scene to bounce light around. This is a very common technique when dealing with small rooms. We can do things that in the real world you could never do without a sledgehammer and a small lawsuit.

Using a super wide lens will tend to make things look goofy and out of scale.

Oh, yes. That'll do the trick. Thanks.
