Remove perspective from camera?

[Aaron2004]

Hey guys,

 

I'm rendering out a VRAY scene, and need a VRAY camera because of my lighting. I want a straight-on orthographic view, though. Is there a way to take out all of the perspective in the camera? I'm sure it's just a simple command that I've always overlooked.

I'm pretty sure you can't use a Vray camera and turn off the perspective. I Just went through this, and the solution that was posted on the chaosgroup website was to use the regular camera, set your color mapping to "rienhard" and then set the multiplier value to .02 or .01 (or it could be .001, I don't remember). This will basically turn the light intensity down low enough to use a regular camera, without having to change all of your settings.

This question has been asked before, and yes it's possible....

Basically you create a regular camera, select the orthographic option in the standard camera, and then you can use a script to convert that to a vray camera.

I realize this isn't "removing" the perspective but it achieves the same result.

That works! I guess I should have read a little deeper.
