viewport menu

4. Open the Render Scene dialog box (press F10). Click the Common tab if it is not already selected.
In the Output Size group, enter 768 for Width and 1024 for Height (values in pixels). Notice
that the Image Aspect parameter reads 0.75, meaning this is the relationship you are selecting
of width to height in your output (see Figure 7.7).
5. Right-click the viewport name and choose Show Safe Frame. The outer rectangle in Figure 7.8
displays the image aspect ratio of your chosen output size. You can disregard the inner rect-
angles as they are for live-action sequences.
Clearly there is a problem with the composition in Figure 7.8; about half the image shows the
ground. Because you want to keep the camera on the ground in a realistic viewing location,
you will need to rotate the camera upward to see the top of the building.
