LDView Image save based on real life size?

[Michael Horvath]

LDView does not support true orthographic mode, so using a very small FOV simulates it. For instructions, that is normally what you want. (As far as I know, all of LEGO's official instructions use orthographic projection.) For a 3D viewer, probably not so much, which is why LDView's default FOV is 45 degrees. Since the request here was for the brick to look actual size, I assumed that Cam's Bricks would also want an orthographic projection of the brick, and hence that is what I suggested. "Actual size" doesn't mean much if the bricks that are farther away are smaller than the ones that are close.

If we're assuming the render is orthographic, then the calculation should be pretty simple to do using a calculator or Excel.
