Feature Request - more camera options

(1/2) > >>

wild_qwerty:
Could you please add these two new options to the camera settings:

1) First off it would be really good if there was an option to make an 'Ortho camera' that would have the same properties as the ortho view but could be set in one place.

read this thread for further information: http://www.anim8or.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/016173.html

The work around in the thread works but its a pain in the butt.

2) Ability to set the camera postion relative to an angel rather than x/y/x cordinates

eg: You would point the camera at a target object and then set the distance away, the horizontal angle, and the vertical angle

Anim8or should then be able to calcualte where to position the camera. (at the moment I basicaly devide my scence in trianlges and use trigonometry to work out where to place the camera as a X/Y/Z position)

spicy:
Yeah good idea

Steve:
Good ideas.  I'll see if I can get at least an ortho camera in in the next v0.97 preview or so.

cumesoftware:
Indeed. Using both Cartesian (XYZ) coordinates and polar coordinates to set a camera is a good idea. I say "both"  since XYZ coordinates on a camera are also handy, so I would leave this feature on.

wild_qwerty:
Yes, you will still need the X/Y/Z in place :)
