Any useful tips on how to keep the verticals, er, vertical? Can't find much on "shift lens' in the manual.

Fellow SU users, how do you do it?

Mat the shift lens should take care of it a little but to be said truthfully bugger all. You have to move the camera above ground level. I know you didn't want to here this!

B*gger.

Bit of a drawback, isn't it?

Though do try the shift lens, negative figures will bring the object down!!!! just crak the figure -10 or more (-20) and see how it goes.

Will do. Close is better than nothing.

Is it a problem in SU to move the camera above ground level? The way a shift-lens works (also a real one, not talking about Maxwell), is you first have to make sure the camera is completely level, for the Maxwell camera this means you need to set the camera and camera target to the same height. Then you just shift the 'lens' up/down or left/right.

Allrighty. Should work.

....cant just setup a two-point perspective in sketchup?

[Stinkie7000]

You know, I haven't tried that with Maxwell. Though that would be the obvious way to go.

EDIT: Works great. Yay!
