Short, precise and spot on explanation most especially for those of us who are into 3D designs. Thanks greatly, David. You are much appreciated. God bless.

If this is new to anyone working with 3D, I would highly recommend learning more about SLR cameras.

[@ahmedsuleiman1130]

Absolutely spot on, Jeff. Learning with SLR or even DSLR camera would help harness the understanding of how 3D works and operating of camera.

@@ahmedsuleiman1130 I was also amazed at how much playing music helps with animation, especially dynamics.

Very informative, thanks! How do you deal with scene scale to make sure the focal lengths actually translate correctly in 3D space? What is the size of the "Down on the render farm" scene for example? I find these kind of large scale outdoors environments to be a bit tricky at times when it comes to lighting and lens choice compared to smaller scenes and interiors that you usually can create in real life sizes.

[@jefflordan]

Make your scenes to real life scale. Otherwise many problems can happen, especially with the virtual camera and simulations.

[@jkartz92]

what's the sensor size setting actually refere to?
