2d trees not facing camera?
« on: April 19, 2016, 05:50:56 PM »
any ideas what the solution is- your 2d trees do not face the camera so they render as squished shapes!

Hi,

That's something easily achievable by enabling the Camera - Look-At feature (which rotates all items to look at a specified object (the camera or other node from the scene)).

Hope that helps.

Best regards,

thanks, if there are several cameras , will the trees in the scene face each camera automatically, or will it mean a manual change each time a render was carried out from a different angle?

now looking ugly with a repeating pattern (assume the -5/5 rotation no longer applies either).... maybe have to go back to 3d trees....are there any 3d tress with a slender trunk available (city/urban render)- your standard tree trunks are made for 'ye olde woods' not what I'm looking for- any ideas for 'urban square' type trees?
