Title: V1.16 New Option: constant step length for zoom by click
Post by: BadCRC on June 23, 2013, 05:36:42 PM
In V1.16 according to version history "added option for using constant step length for zoom by click (useful for animations)".  Where is this option? Maybe I've been up for too long but I can't seem to find it.

Well after a week of not getting any response.  I figured it out on my own.  The option is not a button or check box per say.  If you choose "Absolute distance mode" and click on the render window it will move forward using the "Absolute movement distance" value.

Hehe, funny thing. Since the early days of animating with mandelbulber, I "emulated" this function, by navigating only in absolute distance mode with forward/backlward and the windroses. ;D
BTW the absolute distance mode is also useful for finetuning stillframes. starting to tweak with 1/10 of the zoom value works imho much better, than the default relative movement, in which the steps are mostly too small.
