how do you change the camera for rendering in 2.5 ?

i got on layer one and a scene there
but if have another scene in layer 10 and another camera
how can i switc0c to the scene on layer with the new camera?

also where can we find the limits in distance for the camera and also view ?

Thanks

Select your new Camera and CTRL-Num 0. Same as for 2.49.
Don’t forget to click the lock icon on the header, otherwise won’t take it as a render camera. The clipping parameter look at the shots.

Maybe that second camera is not positioned to show you what you need to look at. Anyway check if the camera has its top triangle colored in black. If it has, that’s the active camera.

also it is the selected camera

After analysing the .blend file I think you have scale issues, the camera is too far away and its dimension in relation to the rest is very tiny. Select the camera and increase the Clipping End property to about 100.000 and render. You’ll see your set now. But I highly recommend for you to rescale your scene so it gets a lot easier to work with it.

Again I’m sure all those harshes are mostly related to the scale of your scene. Try to approximate things otherwise you’ll have to configure a lot of settings to the thousands of units, and that is not very productive and may generate render errors :stuck_out_tongue:
