Overview
This setting controls whether ray-traced images are rendered with or without perspective. Note that this can be in conflict with the setting "orthoscopic"; by default, images are rendered with the same orthoscopic setting as the viewport, unless "ray_orthoscopic" is deliberately set otherwise.
Settings
set ray_orthoscopic, off # render ray-traced images with perspective (2-4x SLOWER)
set ray_orthoscopic, on # render ray-traced images without perspective
Examples
orthoscopic on (perspective off)
orthoscopic off (perspective on)
- For many images, the difference is hardly visible.
orthoscopic on (perspective off)
orthoscopic off (perspective on)
- Especially when straight features parallel to the z axis are shown, the effect may be large.
