It's possible to render parallel projection?

I try to render a parallel projection but the image that appears at Indigo is not the current view. It's possible to render a parallel projection or not?

currently its not, but hopefully that will change in the future.

you could fake it by setting a very small FOV, tho :)

this is something i have wondered about myself. it seems as though this should be possible and i would like to use it to render building elevations. setting a FOV of 1 is effective, but does seem that it is not a true parallel projection.

I have noticed that when you attempt to render a parallel projection it does render something, just not what was in the view on the screen - perhaps there is there a way to figure out where you would have to position the camera in order to get the view you desire. Does anyone who knows the mechanics of how indigo works know if this is possible??

Best,
Rob
