In Corona Camera - Add checkbox to turn ON/OFF "Far clipping"

[lupaz]

I just spent a long time trying to figure out what was going on on my scene.

It turned out that the camera clipping was ON, and the far clipping wasn't far enough.
Please, please, please: Could you add a checkbox there for Far Clipping and set it in OFF by default?

Thanks!

There is a checkbox to enable or disable clipping altogether, and it is off by default. Not sure a separate checkbox for Far only would be of any use? Also, if I remember rightly, the Corona Camera is one of those objects that when you add a new one, certain parameters are taken from "the last one you created" which is why it may seem that it is not off by default. Can you try in a brand new empty scene, just to verify?

Just to clarify, camera clipping is off by default. But currently, if I want only near clipping and not far, I need to set far clipping at 99999999.
If it's not too hard, it'd be great if it had a checkbox to disable it completely.

Thanks for clarifying!

What's wrong with setting clipping to 9999? If there will be checkboxes for everything, people will start complaining that they forgot to set particular checkbox ON or OFF and the scene rendered not as expected.

What's wrong with setting a parameter at 99999999 to turn it off? I'd say it's far from ideal.
You also need to make sure it's at its maximum if you don't want to clip something by mistake.
