non proportionally scale view

Anonymous — Wed, 31 Jan 2018 10:48:13 GMT

Hi.

After having tried lots of things but nothing worked:

Is there a way to squeeze the viewport view or non proportionally scale the camera view? Is there a way to do this in Python?

Thanks in advance.

This works using keyframe and timeline to compress a view...

Thats a very nice tip to clean up things. Thanks for that.

But what I was rather aiming for is squeezing the enire view (or a group maybe) according to your camera position. In Alias that is a build-in function btw.

This works sort of, if you parent the group of objects to your camera. Then, if you scale the camera in X for example, the objects get squeezed horizontally. But the draw back is, you cant move or rotate the camera before unparenting the objects, because that would also effect the position and rotation of them.

Any thoughts?
