To set the camera to a top view in Unreal Engine, you can follow the following steps:
1. Open the level that you wish to set the camera in.
2. Press the ‘C’ button on your keyboard to switch to the cinematic viewport.
3. Click on the ‘+’ button at the top of the screen to create a new camera.
4. In the ‘Details’ panel on the right side of the screen, scroll down to ‘Transform’ and set the ‘Rotation’ values to ‘-90’ in the ‘Z’ axis.
5. In the ‘Projection Settings’ section, change the ‘Projection Mode’ to ‘Orthographic’.
6. Adjust the ‘Ortho Width’ value to fit the view that you desire.
7. Finally, click on the ‘Lock’ button to lock your camera to its current view.
Now, your camera will be set to a top-down view of your level. You can use this camera to accurately position objects and build your level in a top-down perspective. To switch back to your normal viewport, press the ‘C’ button again.
Important Notes:
– Make sure that the camera is positioned correctly and that it covers the area that you need to see.
– Adjust the ‘Ortho Width’ value to fit your view, as this will affect the overall size of your objects.
