Lets look at this representation of angle of view

In the center

We have an angle that represents what the camera is viewing

This is known as angle of view

In the center we also have circles that are represented by lines

At the bottom right we have a view of what the camera is actually seeing

Now lets adjust the angle of view

Click and drag the angle of view slider to the right to increase it

As we increase angle of view

We see more circles in the view of our drawn and live examples

The circles in the center are not being pushed further away

They only seem like they are being pushed further away because we widened our view and introduced more circles into the scene

Click and drag the angle of view slider to the left to decrease it

As we decrease angle of view

We see less circles in both our drawn and live examples

The circles are not being pushed towards the camera

They only seem like they are being pushed towards the camera because we shortened our angle of view to capture less of the scene

Lets take a look at another example with a pixel film studios theme named cactus valley

Our angle of view is starting at forty five degrees

As we turn the angle of view up

We see that more of the environment is now in the cameras view

And as we turn angle of view down

We see that less of the environment is in the cameras view

In our plugins

We have added a feature that makes sure your environment does not look it is getting smaller when adjusting the angle of view

We have done this by bringing the camera towards the focus point

Here is an example of how our enhanced angle of view works

Here we have a box that is both in front and behind our focus point

Which is located in the center of the box

As we turn up the angle of view

We see that the end of the box looks further away while the front of the box looks closer

The box now appears to have more depth

As we lower angle of view

The opposite happens 

The front and end of the box look closer to the center

Making the box appear as if it has less depth

Now lets take a look at the theme cactus valley from pixel film studios again with the enhanced angle of view controls

The drop zone frame is located in the middle of our focus point

When we raise angle of view

We start to see more subjects behind our frame

And the ground in front of the frame moving towards the camera view

Creating the illusions of more depth

When we lower angle of view

We see the objects behind our frame move outside

And the ground in front of the frame moving away from the camera view

Creating the illusion of less depth

Lets look at camera movements with different angle of view settings 

This is forty five degrees

Which is a normal angle of view setting 

This is one hundred and twenty five degrees

Notice the extreme angles when the text is rotating 

And this is ten degrees

Notice how the text looks very flat

Now lets view another scene with different angle of view settings

This is forty five degrees

Which is a normal angle of view setting

This is one hundred and twenty five degrees

Notice how the environment looks a lot bigger

And this is ten degrees

Notice how the environment looks a lot smaller
