Setting application options

“

- [Voiceover] Let's start by setting up a few of the application options. I've got a default installation of Vue Extreme 2015, and I'm seeing the welcome screen. I don't need to see that again, so I'll disable it, don't show again, turn that checkbox on, and then close the welcome screen dialogue, and we get a default scene opening up, and now let's go into the application preferences under File, Options, in the General Preferences, most importantly, we need to increase the number of undos, because the default is only five, I'm going to set that to 50 levels of undo. In the Gamma Options, down here at the bottom, click the button to open up the Gamma Options dialogue. In this project, I'm going to do all of the tone mapping within the exposure control module in the post-processing options. I'm gonna disable Gamma Correction for this project, click okay. Next, in the Display Options, we have Background Draw and Instant Draw. In order to make sure that your view port performance is snappy and quick, you can disable Background Draw, and then set the Instant Draw to a better quality. Down in the View Options, there are a couple things we want to change, most importantly, I want independent zooming and panning of all views, turn that on. We also want to show the camera field of view in the object properties. Field of view is a more intuitive metric than the millimeters of the focal length, so turn camera field of view on, and then lastly, in the Units and Coordinates tab, I'm used to using Mia, so I'm going to set the World Coordinate System to Y-Axis off, click okay, and we need to restart the application, click yes, my view opens up again, our options have now been applied.
