1.3 pre2 multiview - planet gets oval when close to border

Post #1by Thierry » 23.02.2003, 12:00

I wish i could upload a .jpg to show you...
Anyway, when i get multi-view with CTRL+R and follow (for example) Io, if Jupiter comes close to the border of one of the view, it gets oval, like (___) instead of (_). If i bring it back to the center of the view, then it's ok again.
Not a big problem, but definitely weird...

Is your FOV set to 45?

I think FOV is set relatively to the window (or view) height, not to its width. So if you have a view with a high width/height ratio you will get a distorted image caracteristic of a wide FOV.
