Orthographic renders?

[splittmatt]

Is there any way to generate orthographic renders? (top, left etc)

I have been working around this by selecting the view I want and then clicking the 'toggle view projection' button. This sort of works but you have to zoom massively to get the right view. Also the view port doesn't correspond to the render output.

Does anyone know of a better way?

The plugin should put Octane in Orthographic mode when you select a Parallel Proj view in Rhino. The issue is that there is not a 1:1 correlation between the scale between how Rhino provides the scale of the parallel view and the Octane "Scale" pin, so you need to zoom in/out on the Rhino Ortho view to get the right size in Octane.

The solutions are:

1) Determine the conversion between the rhino parallel proj view and the Octane Scale. At the moment the code is

Code: Select all

Octane FOV = 1.5 * Rhino viewport frustrum view radium

which is clearly not right - but the closest I could get to.

or

2) I make the "scale" pin of the Octane camera editable when viewing Parallel Projections in Rhino. Then you can manually adjust the Octane scale to match the Rhino preview.
