Love the new 3rd Person View, but there still is something missing.
If I want to shoot a picture of myself, then I can’t really do a close up of my whole self. If I zoom in, then I get my upper half and my face, but….
What about we lower the camera to 1/2 the character height on the last mouse wheel roll before it goes 3rd person? That way I can see all of me filling the screen?
Wonder why we didn’t think of that…
Other unmentionable games do that.
Minor tweak… At last 3rd person for those landscape shots!!
Hurray.
Now if we could only do nice “selfies”.

You can change FoV slider and “Adjust camera to character height” to get good pictures of your whole character.

Yes. I see the controls and I’ve tried them. I don ‘t seem to be able to get a full character size photo. That is, with my characters head at the top of the frame and her toes at the bottom.
I’m suggesting it would be nice to take shots where I can record the look of all the gear, and to take face closeups where the face, or at least nipples to top of head full the frame vertically. You know. The shots like you usually take of yourself.
Bust and Full Length selfies.
Hey… Just a suggestion.

I can’t make that happen. Did you crop the photo or back the camera up against something?
Here’s a youtube video of my efforts, along with a suggestion for what we should have.

Hey, if we can do it now, it’s not that easy apparently.

Hey thanks for the feedback. With this recent release of camera changes we were targeting a specific set of improvements.

There is still more on the known list of requests.

LOL remind me of WOW 6.1, best major patch ever, I mean who need real balance and content when you can take a selfie and post it on twitter.

Some must fight so that all may be free.

Here you go. Youtube won’t upload it in 1440p for some reason, oh well.

Works okay with Norns but that’s because they can be quite huge.

Something to definitely look at in the future.

Doesn’t work for Charr either.
