Use the Axis tab of the Stereo Object menu to position, rotate, scale, and shear an axis, as well as adjust the convergence,
parenting, and autoscaling of stereo objects.
The Axis controls are described as follows.
- X Position field
-
Displays the position of the X axis. Editable.
- Y Position field
-
Displays the position of the Y axis. Editable.
- Z Position field
-
Displays the position of the Z axis. Editable.
- Motion Path button
-
Enable to animate the position of the axis using a spline drawn in the scene. Disable to animate the position of the axis
using explicit animation.
See Creating a Motion Path.
- X Rotation field
-
Displays the rotation of the X axis. Editable.
- Y Rotation field
-
Displays the rotation of the Y axis. Editable.
- Z Rotation field
-
Displays the rotation of the Z axis. Editable.
- X Scale field
-
Displays the scale of the X axis. Editable.
- Y Scale field
-
Displays the scale of the Y axis. Editable.
- Z Scale field
-
Displays the scale of the Z axis. Editable.
- Proportional button
-
Enable to change the fields proportionally.
- Autoscale box
-
Select whether to autoscale when settings are changed relative to the camera.
| Select: |
To: |
| Auto Off |
Not use autoscaling on the image. |
| Auto Z |
Link the Position Z parameter with Convergence. This allows you to see how a change in the Convergence value makes the object
appear to move closer or farther from the camera. This preserves the same visual aspect while scaling the textures up or down
accordingly.
NoteThe result camera must be set to the stereo camera.
|
| AutoScale |
Change the left and right texture parameters when the Position Z or a Scale parameter is changed. When you create a stereo
object, it is automatically oriented towards the camera and automatically scales. That is, the apparent size of the images
scale to compensate when you move the stereo object along the Z axis. If you move a stereo object away from the camera, it
grows, and vice versa.
NoteThe result camera must be set to the stereo camera.

- X Centre field
-
Displays the centre of the X axis. Editable.
- Y Centre field
-
Displays the centre of the Y axis. Editable.
- Z Centre field
-
Displays the centre of the Z axis. Editable.
- Convergence field
-
Displays the equal amount of convergence in opposite directions horizontally, between left and right images. Positive values
make the image appear farther from the camera. Editable.
- Parent To button
-
Enable to associate a stereo object with the camera selected in the Parent Camera box. Enabled by default to force the stereo
object to face the FBX camera at all times when the camera is moved around.
- Parent Camera box
-
Select which camera in the scene is associated with the stereo object.
