[Plugin] Zero Tilt Camera

Hi Paul, I didn't download the plugin, but based on your description, how is it different from viewing SketchUp in parallel projection?

That's what I thought as well.

This is perspective view with vertical lines parallel (architects like that sort of view!)

Looks similar to Two-Point Perspective without the label in the upper left corner. It's not quite the same though. thank you for this.

I did a quickie example.

Two Point:

Zero Tilt:

Combined:

I don't quite get this..
If the verticals are not parallel, which they obviously are not on the compared 2-point/zero tilt image , the camera does not have 0 tilt. ?
BTW, I typically use the 'position camera' to get 0 tilt, and then Walk to move back/forward and up down.
Works great too.

maybe i shouldn't have posted this to plugins - it's rather simple and was meant ironic too.
a beginners try at coding ruby/SUapi...
the script is handy for me with walktrough animations where i would look around during setup (leave eye height and planar view) and also use different 'camera lens' settings.
the effect desired was that of a steady cam (with a weigth underneath and the camera set to 90° from that weight).
the two point perspective is kind of static and for me 'position camera' will often fail without a proper reference line or the axes.
i mainly use the shortcut for setting up scene views - sort of constructing a camera path. transitions look nicer this way (same eye heigth, 0tilt and you can do a rotational move along the way.)

..the diversion in the chair overlay would occur if you choose 0tilt coming from a 2point perspective view. this won't work - i hadn't thought of the possiblity - i never use 2point.
try with a house. inside. use the walk or move tool (hand) to navigate around once you've chosen 0tilt. you'll see.

attached a dennismethod output of some planar view of a few huts..

Oops, I meant 2 point perspective. Thanks for the explanation.

Thanks, I find this useful, especially when a shortcut is assigned.

Thanks a lot!
Anybody that has battled with shift lenses in architectural photography will appreciated this.

It can be a useful plug-in. Thanks all the plug-ins are appreciated

Just what I was looking for

It is very useful for rendering spherical/equirectangular panorama with Twilight.
If the camera is not level the panorama will be all wavy.

Thank you for posting this... this is exactly what I was looking for... Finally, no more "dutch angles" during my transitions.

Thanks!

very good plugin .. very hsady
since some of render engines do not support Su's native '2 point perspective' ..

very useful plugin!
