Top view???

[tcmodder]

Is it possible for me to get like a top view in the editor its alot easier to lay my road our sence i know how the road looks from above and i can lay it quick and easy.So is it possible??????And yea i can just zoom upward and look down but the terrain starts to fade away witch i realy hate.It that would be possible to fix it should be.Im sure im not the only one that dont like how stuff fades out as you zoom out.

 

 

Also is there somewhere i can pick up a basic setting up a car tut?Or something that can get me started with making objects move?I realy need help with that.Thanks

You can set the camera far range to 50000 in the Athmosphere entity. Then things don't fade out so early.

The short answer to your question is that orthographic views are not presently supported in Leadwerks Editor (although orthographic rendering is supported by the engine command set).

I just tried using an Orthographic camera (CameraProjMode(mapcam, 2) ; this produces an exception error in Renderworld(); Setting cam mode to 1 (normal) and no problem.

 

Is orthographic not working atm?

Disable directional light shadows. The routine can't calculate the light volumes for orthographic projection, because it doesn't make sense.

Awesome, yup that works.
