If I can improve that any, I'll post the new version.<BR/><BR/>I can indeed do orthogonal (or any other) perspective with any or all of these programs. The camera is free moving within the scene, and can be positioned in any manner desired (either by dragging it or by typing in coordinates and directions if you need it to be precisely orthogonal or whatever other viewpoint).<BR/><BR/>When editing the terrains themselves, I do about 50% of the editing from an orthogonal view (the rest usually from a near-isometric view). I tend to prefer other perspectives for my actual final render, but I'm trying to branch out and get a little crazier with those camera angles.Christopher M.

But "Loss 2" really nailed the reflection of the tree in the water.<BR/><BR/>Do any of these programs handle orthogonal perspectives, e.g., bird's-eye-view terrain models?Stephen Parrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16883165490847664389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439941893980599296.post-85577105742742943712008-04-13T18:21:00.000-04:002008-04-13T18:21:00.000-04:00Overcast Marsh is my favourite.
