Screen shots along other axes?

[evertdeman]

Is there any way I can make automatic screen shots of the objects along another axis? Meaning the viewer would circle the object in a vertical plane.

Same problem. Especially if this can be done automatically?

I don't think what you want is possible without changing the code. We needed to render images from random viewpoints, and we managed to do that by modifying the code. It's actually quite easy once you find the relevant parts. Take a look at this for reference:

You need to modify CameraPositionOptimizer.scala. The method you want is positionToView(). You can easily pass the azimuth, elevation, and scale that you want.
