Can you make a camera have a different focal length? was created by bradywurtz
I'm making a 3D animation sequence with a camera, but I kinda want the camera to be a little more of a wide angle instead of the standard angle the camera is in. something equivalent to a 18mm full frame focal length. Is this possible?

You may want to have a look at mO2 for that.

you set the cameras 'focal length' in the cams Inspector/Angle of View settings

Awesome! Thank you so much! That worked! I wonder what the mm focal length of a camera equivalent is to the Degree on that attribute.

… that's beyond my math skills, sorry, the formula contains stuff like 'arc-sin' etc, LOL
but Google tells me, quote "about 39.6 degrees" … no idea, if this is about correct. Try it!
