Still, it is pointing downwards towards the Earth. You were instinctively channeling the Druids!

It was? it was my first render with a camera tilted 90 degrees… that’s kinda hard because you have to tilt your head … try it. Then i had to export to phshop and rotate it (said image) and export again because i could not do the rotate in the rendered state. What would have been easier had i had any brains was to apply some rotation to the object :slight_smile: … we learn always from small failures … try it with a long object that does not fit in the camera, when your head is tilted sideways … think of me and laugh!!

Hmm. I do not have photoshop. Can you do stuff like this with Canva too? (Hope your neck has recovered).

probably… i do not know canvas … i 100% know gimp (100% free) can do it. its multi platform i am pretty sure. are you on a mac ?

Yes. I have been on Macs for a while, due to older movie making software like Final Cut pro being on Macs. I have used Windows previously. Hoping I can stick with Macs now though since I have so many apples in my basket LOL!

If you want to render a vertical resolution, in the Output Properties panel, just change the X and Y value so that Y is greater than X. No need to tilting head (or monitor) :slightly_smiling_face:
