Is There Away To Render With No Perspective?

[happycow]

I don't really know where this question would fit, but my best guess is rendering since i assume it might involve something with the camera. Is there away to "shutoff" perspective. What I mean is, to use another software as an example; Z-Brush, You don't have any perspective (unless you turn it on), but by default it is off. I belive the Orthographic views in Maya don't have perspective either unless you render with them. I really want to render with no perspective, because there's a certain look that I like in Zbrush3 without perspective and I'm hoping I can get this with Maya.

If you look through or render an Orthographic camera in Maya, it will by definition not have any perspective. Or more strictly speaking, it will have an infinite focal length.

You can use the startup orthographic cameras (up, front, side). Or you can also turn any camera into an Orthographic camera by turning on the orthographic attribute. Alternatively, you can turn the focal length up really really high. Doing this will not actually be orthographic, but for all intents and purposes, it will look the same.

What DiPierro said.

Select Camera
Open Attribute Editor
Check the "orthographic" box under "Orthographic Views"

Then if you want to be able to tumble the view, select the Tumble tool, open its tool settings, then uncheck the "Locked" box under "Orthographic views"
