Setting up the camera to challenge and impress
Take a look at the following two examples. Which of the two do you find more stimulating?
The SketchUp camera view can be set up to simulate the human eye, a long-range camera, or even a fisheye lens. To you and me, this means that we get great flexibility in the effects we can achieve when composing our scene.
