#camera perspective

Almost everyone has had the moment when a video feels unflattering or makes the face look uneven. But most of what we notice is not a flaw — it’s simply a mix of natural asymmetry and camera distortion. Every face has small differences between left and right sides, but video highlights those variations much more than the mirror.

Factors like lens width, camera angle, shadows, movement, and posture affect how your facial features appear. Even everyday behavior, such as head tilt or preferred chewing side, can influence facial muscle patterns and make one side appear slightly different.

While certain dental or jaw alignment issues can contribute to noticeable asymmetry, in many cases what you’re seeing is just perspective from the camera. Understanding this helps shift the focus from self-criticism to awareness.

Adding and using camera's in Maya. 

Firstly we need something for the camera to manoeuvre around so I just placed a few pyramids slap a yellow blin colour to them and put a flat yellow surface beneath it. 

The next step is to add a camera; 

As seen in the screenshot you move to create, the scroll to camera's and click on camera. 

Next you need to make you're camera the main perspective of the file; simply click panels, perspective and click camera1. 

You will then be in the view of your camera from this point on.  The last thing you need before you move you're camera is;  View, camera settings and enable Resolution Gate.
