      Hi
      I search a ruby to spin the view around an object but with a given high from the floor, with one or two radius parameters (path=circle or ellipse) and… important: a certain angle to the floor (always perpendicular to the path, but with a certain degree)
      Exists such a simple and nice toy? maybe working with curves too? 😆

      Doing the same manually is a bit tedious…

          Oh.. with curves is it easier? 💚
          The only problem i have is that i need a fixed, adjustable camera angle, looking respectively upwards or downwards, its a necessary feature i search...

            Grumble…somebody other stumbling over my post?
            maybe the title i've chosen isn't really clear, Huh 😕
            I meant not camera focal angle (wide-eye-tele) but the direction, the vector in witch the of ray of my camera points…

            The concept i want is to guide my camera along a path, (circle or curvilinear and 3D path) but -
            here comes the difference- animating things from a bird or frog -view in parallel projection. (not perspective)

            Till now i wasn't able to find a script, to realize my idea. 🎉

            See the attached images to understand what i mean:
            30°
            12°

                Hi TIG!
                As far as i know, NudgeOrbit permits to spin over/under the global axis only, keeping the actual camera viewpoint into account. But i want to set a certain viewpoint angle to the focused object, like in frog-or bird-view; sometimes the isometric projection isn't clear enough to inspect sliced buildings/rooms. I prefer the parallel projection, because the perspective view distorts everything. 😐

                  Look at the script's code and see if changing the camera's fov helps?
