Feature: Ortholinear camera #3320

Open CarnageMarkus opened 2 years ago

CarnageMarkus commented 2 years ago

Currently, the camera supports only perspective projection. When slicing object into halves, it's hard to judge because of perspective projection "deforms". Most 3D software I used has option to switch between perspective/orthogonal projection.

What to do Add extra options under View -> Orthogonal projection / Perspective projection

Describe how it would work Technically, this should be quite small change, as we only need to swap active projection matrices for the renderer. And/Or possibly remember last user choice.

Thank you for consideration.

Already implemented. Configuration > Camera > Use Perspective Camera = False. Unchecked uses ortho, else perspective. If this solves it, close issue.

Thanks, didn't know it was hidden there. That's 4 clicks away. Could we still get a shortcut for that in "View" toolbar ?

Its there as thats where it is in PS too. Been there forever. IIRC theres been requests over on the PS github for some easier way of switching between too.
