Help with Orthographic cameras

Hi

I hope this is the right place for this. I tried asking this question once before, but never got a response. :-\

There’s something that’s always baffled me with Unreal Editor - setting up a decent orthographic camera view. From what I gather, only the CameraActor allows you to toggle between Perspective and Orthographic views, correct?

Perspective always works correctly without issues, but whenever I try to set it to Ortho, it looks… terrible.

Persp:

Ortho:

I’ve tried playing around with the settings, but everything looks strange. And many things look as though they’re clipping. Also, it doesn’t seem as though I can position the camera correctly, or zoom in/out, with the mouse and keyboard like you can in Persp. :-\ If I get the camera in a particular position/rotation, all I see is a grid behind and no sky.

And that’s in Lit mode, too.

Could someone help me set up a decent Orthorgraphic setup with a camera for doing beauty renders? This is something I’ve never been able to get right so far. Thanks.
