Using an orthographic camera
In most cases, you'll use
THREE.PerspectiveCamera
to render your scene. With
such a camera, the result is a scene with a realistic-looking perspective. Three.js
provides an alternative camera with
THREE.OrthographicCamera
. This camera
uses an orthographic projection to render the scene. With this type of projection, all
objects have the same size regardless of their distance to the camera. This is in con-
