    Help needed.

    Thanks

    Wouldn't you just keep the track completely straight and set the camera to be at 90 degrees to the rider (exactly from the side).

    Ah OK, in the editor when you first put down the start /finish points your bike/rider will appear. Next to the rider you will see a blue camera and a circular target ( the blue camera will always point towards the target) select the camera and move it away from the rider then test the track to see if its far enough away/ too far away. You can also select the camera then press up on d-pad to go into the object properties menu and adjust the fov to zoom in/out to fine tune it

    This will give you the basic view you want, you may need to add/adjust the lighting to recreate the same look as that track

    turn the camera 90 degrees as mentioned but you will need to mess with the camera field of view .. make it wide so you can see the next obs tickles.x and you can see on the video stick the sun facing the camera for the black monotone effect . id imagine it takes a bit of skill as the drive line and what you see will be a fair distance from the camera .

    To make it a 2d effect you need to play with the environment settings. If you want a one tone background turn sky ambience colour to full and also turn up the fog setting. To get the driving line and the rider the same colour as eachother turn ground ambience or whatever it is called down and then just adjust them to the colour you need. I made a similar track on evo but I think G Satchmo has done quite a lot. Check out his thread.

    To add to this, do cameras in the editor allow for an orthographic mode?

    If not, I think playing with the FOV would help immensely.
