Hi guys,


Here is a camera that will let you set the view to isometric or axonometric. I was hoping to make it work with the nav widget but I couldn't figure it out, sorry. :( Still, you can link a dummy object into the "MatrixIN" and then moving the dummy object around the scene will move the camera as well. :)

Link the "WldMatrix" output for a dummy object (just a cube or whatever object you want to use) into the MatrixIN and set select the radio button next to it. This will make the camera move when you move the dummy object to allow you to adjust the view.

It's basically an angled orthographic view.


Here's a link to wiki that explains a bit.

Perhaps Splinters can post a good example? I know he likes those views. :) I don't have a good scene that would domonstrate.
