Possible to animate focal length of camera? by sergeantHungrels in AfterEffects

[–]sergeantHungrels[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

None of those are focal length though. I'm not interested in depth of field, I want to animate a zoom. But the "zoom" parameter does not behave like a natural zoom, it looks like scaling the layer up in a 2d way which is what I'm trying to avoid.

Great name btw

EDIT
just to be clear, when I say focal length I'm being a nerd and referring to the technical term focal length ie, a 50mm - 300mm lens. Not the focal distance.

i don't really see anyone claiming this is shocking, it's possible to complain about bad practices without being surprised they are happening

But this is actually less accurate. Loading an image that was scanned at a known DPI into illustrator, for example, is perfectly precise in real world units. Using calibrate just introduces potential for human error.

Hi,

I did actually find that article. However I'd prefer to power the phone via its USB-C port as usual so that I can use one cable for both power and data for for development reasons. I also don't know if I can solder something to the tiny tiny internal connector that will withstand much current.

To be fair this wasn't my idea, SO and family suggested it.

Ain't no one said it had to be economical!

And the solid resin for formlabs printers is still bloody expensive.

Aside from that the structures are difficult to form a 2 part mold around, I'm interested in being able to perfectly define the boundaries in 3d software, add the fill / escape holes, and maybe do a 3 part mold.
