Background: I had some trouble with image planes--I dont know whether the images were too big or what--but at first they were located way way off from the model--not at the origin. I was able to fix it...but now I notice that my model view is distorted in the perspective viewport. Like the object appears thin from a distance--unaturally long--when compared with the front view object. Any idea how to correct it?
Ok I seem to have been able to correct it by dollying out and zooming in..or something like that. Not sure why it worked though!
It worked because somehow you had given your camera an unusually wide angle lens, something less than 15mm I'd guess, and wide angle lenses warp objects. Extreme wide angle lenses aer fish eye lenses. They can be fun though.
