Re: Can you render the front camera view?

[Mark Young] "Unfortunately the effect I'm looking for doesn't work with a camera (or no camera) in the comp. I want to get a render that has no perspective (as if you were looking at a front elevation on a blueprint)."

You can't render the Front view. You can, however, create a camera with a ridiculously long focal length (zoom) that would almost eliminate perspective. You could link the camera's Z position to its zoom:

x = thisComp.width / 2;

y = thisComp.height / 2;

z = -cameraOption.zoom;

[x,y,z]

Then keep increasing the zoom value until it looks close enough... or AE crashes (;
