I've got a technical question about how cameras work in Max and VRay, most likely for Vlado to answer:
Starting in the Max render dialog just above the resolution buttons is a box marked 'Aperture Width(mm)' which defaults to 36.0
Moving on to a VRayPhysicalCamera the first dialog is 'film gate (mm)', which also defaults to 36.0
My question is this: If I want to do a camera match with a full-frame Nikon D800 what do I set these values to? Back in the Max Render dialog there is a pull-down preset called '35mm (24mm x 36mm) (slide)' which I assume tallys with the sensor on my Nikon. When I choose this preset the Aperture Width(mm) dialog chages from 36.0 to 34.2. Does this mean I need to change the VRayPhysicalCamera dialog 'film gate (mm)' to 34.2 as well?
It's damn confusing! Any help would be gratefully received.
