orthographic render

[TheBadger]

Hi,

I have thought about this off and on for a long time. I may have even asked about it at some point and can't recall (if so, sorry).
But how can I set up the renderer to render a true orthographic view of a scene?

As strange as it may be, I think there could be some fun in this on its own, but also, I am making architectural models to us in TG, and I would like to make some 2D elevation renders. I feel like TG would add some more cool to it, possibly... I can do this in Maya, it is set up from default to have the 4 views counting perspective. But I don't think that we have talked about it for TG, that I can remember right now.

Thanks.

Have you checked the camera settings and tried the Orthographic mode?...

You know, I just don't know why I did not remember that was there. I must have seen it a million times. I think that I must have just not had any use for it before this project and totally blanked it out.

Nah, what if someone else has the same question and uses the Search?

Alright, but I ran a test on a file I already had set up for rendering. Its the ruin temple scene I was testing and showed in Image sharing. I am currently rendering an 800 pix wide image. Same setting everything else.

In normal camera view a test render at this size with all other settings as my larger render, it should take less then 7 or 8 min. But the ortho is now at 47min with a long way still to go. that is an incredible increase.
