Cameras
Cameras in NVIDIA Omniverse™ View simulate real world cameras and their functionality remarkably well. If you are comfortable with a standard 35 mm camera nomenclature, then adapting should be relatively easy. Interiors are best viewed with a focal length of 10-20mm. Use longer focal lengths for details or objects which are further away.
Cameras have properties which determine field of view and other imaging characteristics. They also have an initial location and orientation which allow you to move to predefined views by selecting a different camera. After a camera is selected, you can continue navigating through the scene with the same imaging properties.
Creating Cameras
Creating a camera in NVIDIA Omniverse™ View can be achieved in several ways.
Create Menu
From the Create Menu
Create Menu > Camera
Right Click Menu
You can use the right click menu…
Right Click > Create > Camera
… in the stage window.
… in the viewport window.
From Current View
Creating a camera from the Current View allows you to set easily set location and orientation of the camera by navigating in the model to the view you desire and then creating the camera. It will inherit the visual properties from the current view.
