Parallel camera / projection

Recently obtained this software and absolutely loving it!

The more I explore it, the more possibilities are opened.

Then I approached the issue of 'Parallel / Axonometric / Orthographic Projection'.

So I'd also like to +1 this feature

[can't imagine the insane algorithmic complexity involved in trying to implement this feature, so a definite kudos to the Team, come the day it's rolled out]

+1

Looking forward to this feature being added soon

Thanks!

please!

Please add the feature of parallel projections so architects can render Elevations! I believe it is possible as I know other real time softwares did it like Twinmotion. Thank you and I really appreciate the effort.

Hi all, been using the program for a couple of years, and love the development. Big +1 in our firm for rendered parallel/ true elevations! Council use them for development applications, clients want to sign off on design, they are critical for the design process. Can't stress how much time this would save in the industry

Thanks again for all the effort!

Hello,

first, congratulations to make the best user experience rendering program, I have ever used! I'm a new user.

Here I am reading that parallel perspective was added in enscape, but I can not manage to do it right, I would like to make a top view and I'm not sucesfull.

I prepared a parallel top view in Archicad and in Enscape I see it right as an perspective view, but as soon I press the 2 point perspective, I get some wiered view, not a top parallel as I set before.

Thank you for help

tjasak It sounds like you're trying to use 2-Point Perspective to generate a Parallel Projection image, but these aren't quite the same thing. Parallel Projection removes the perspective element, rendering all parallel lines as actually parallel ad-infinitum.

2-Point Perspective on the other hand maintains some level of perspective, but removes one vanishing point as compared to 3-Point Perspective (the default perspective for most 3D modeling/rendering software, as it is the most accurate to how our eyes/a camera works compared to the frame around it). This means all vertical edges that are parallel are rendered as such, which can help make an eye-level view look more "natural" (despite a 3-point perspective being more "accurate"). This is because your eyes are also always registering the frame of the image, which is always parallel, and seeing slight inconsistencies between these edges and the edges in the image can look weird.

2-Point perspective breaks down however the further you rotate your view down or up. As it is distorting the view to keep vertical edges parallel, when you are looking up at a steep angle it will severely distort the image to maintain the parallel projection. Thus, if you're looking to create a rendered plan this system will quickly break down and create some strange visual results.

This is why we all also want Parallel Projection (and the related axonometric/isometric/camera angle adjustments), so that we can have both options depending on what we are trying to render!

Hope that helps.

Thank you for clarification. I understand now, there is no option I need for a parallel top view. I hope it will be added

+1 for parralel projection view, it is very important for architects !!

Planned to come with 2.7, thanks for your feedback!

Oooh, does that mean panning in 2pt view will also be available in 2.7? (Please make sure all view angles from the host program can be accurately reproduced in Enscape)

Yes !! a dream would come true

Sweet for Axonometries, nowadays we are using Revit realistic view for doing realistic floor plans, but it's a feature that may be implemented.
