"proper" back view
 
Hay guys,

so I'm starting to model a Torso but
the standart viewa are front, side and top

since i dont need the top, how do i ceate a proper back view

i don't want to just drag it to the back view because in the lower part of the viewport you can still read "top"
but wanna read back...


looked through the panel options and there where only front side and top available

could someone help me?

you could make a new camera and then use the view cube thing to position it in the axis you want. You could even lock the rotate attributes.

thank! but could you break down the steps of creating a new camera? that would be great!

honestdom 06-12-2008 06:29 PM

sorry dude,

go to

create > cameras > camera

then in the view port go to

Panel > look through selected

then just tumble about

ah alright thanks :) but i noticed that the grid is not visible through the whole port like in the side and front view is that normal?

don't bother got that fixed! :)

oh right i get you, maybe you could duplicate the front camera and flip it around.

you could also try looking under predefined bookmarks under the view menu of your panel. there are back, bottom views there. :)
