In project there is a 3D-model that represents a building. I would like it to be impressive but with every camera position i tried, the building appears ridiculous, like a toy (because of perspective i think), or i go "underground" (i mean under the horizontal [square] that represents the ground), or i get a "fish-eye"-like impression. if i move the camera close to the model, it is cuted and we see the inside of the Geo.
