Hey y'all,
so i'm using up a background video for the so-called Roto-"feature". FYI, it's a skateboarder doing a kickflip.
For animating properly, the view needs to be set to "orthographic" for obvious reasons. BUT I can only do that when I don't have an actual camera in the scene, am I correct? The cameras themselves can't be set to orthographic afaik.
Thing is, I'm setting up the view to match the character height / position and keyframe away. Yet I will need to switch to other viewing angles from time to time for further adjustments, also for obvious reasons.
But then I will have to set up my orthographic view again by eye, each and every time? If it's not matched exactly as before, the position of my bones will be offset ever so slightly -> which will produce a sub-optimal result in the long run.
What i'm asking is this: Is there a way to "store" my orthographic view?
Thanks a bunch for helping out!
