Navigation issues!

[orion_uk]

Sorry, I dont mean to be offensive but rotating around an object SUCKS!, try to smoothly rotate around a character, the character ends up tilting forward or backwards at an angle to the left/right rather than looking like its standing still with the camera going around the character on one axis!

Attempting to rotate the camera from a front on view to a side view results in the character tilting its head towards you while looking like its standing on a slope! It would help of there was a tilt left/right button or a nav cube even!

Draging left/right does not feel right! For me, I simply want to rotate from a front view of my character to a side vew with out having to spend AGES trying to make my character look like its standing straight again on a side view like it was when viewing from a font facing angle!

It feels like drag and hope you get the right angle rather than presise movement/camera rotation!

I really like OR but struggle so much with navigating. Its a battle to navigate and not part of a fluid production process!

While the video below did help a little, its did not resolve the issue I feel I am facing

This is often a export problem.
Set camera "Up" to 0 1 0 or use the camera target picker.

Cheers, mib.

Set camera "Up" to 0 1 0

Wow!
That made such a difference! Thank you so much

This problem literally comes up once every 2-4 weeks. This should just be set automatically or something, it's obviously a bug.

If something exports the up vector different than [0 1 0] we need to keep it that way, otherwise it would be impossible to export a camera that is not standing straight up.
