Change camera angle to birds eye view

[kowshik1234]

I am having a hard time changing the camera angles and rendering the view I needed.

The app starts in the following camera view

However I need it to be as below,

At the moment, I am using EditorCamera and adjusting the view EVERYTIME upon the launch. The solution I need is for the view to adjust automatically upon launch.

I tried twiddling around the camera.position = Vec3(x,y,z) API but it never resulted in the view I wanted. Is there an easy way to find the co-ordinates of the view which is set by EditorCamera and then hard-code them at the start of the app?

What the EditorCamera does, is to make an Entity as a pivot point, parent the camera to it, and move the camera local z position back. You can then rotate the pivot point and the camera will rotate around that point.

To get the current rotation of the editor camera, just do print(editor_camera.rotation)
You could set the editor camera's rotation to the on creation to avoid adjusting it manually each time.
Example:

from ursina import *
app = Ursina()

Entity(model='plane', scale=8)
EditorCamera(rotation=(45,0,0))
app.run()

Here's how you'd do the same with just an Entity:

from ursina import *
app = Ursina()

Entity(model='plane', scale=8)

pivot = Entity(rotation=(45,0,0))
camera.parent = pivot
app.run()
