How to create camera in orthographic view?

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have got this image where the buildings are rising upwards and the camera from the top.I am trying to copy the same buildings in 3ds max.But my render is not showing the same result in perspective view.But in user/orthographic view it is looking similar to the reference frame.Now my question is how could I create a camera in orthographic view? Can any body help me, please?

Try creating a free or target camera and check "Orthographic Projection" in the Parameters roll-out.

You have to use a standard camera.

If you want to create a camera from an existing orthographic view follow this procedure:

1. Setup your views so that you have a perspective view and the orthographic view you want to make a camera from.  This will not work if you have one view maximized.

2. Change your orthographic view to perspective view.  Keep focus on this view.

3. Use the menu-bar to "Create  Standard Camera from View".

4. Check "Orthographic Projection" in the parameters roll-out of the camera you just created.
