Hello all, if I could get an answer to this question that's been plaguing me, I'd really appreciate it.

I've been trying to set up head-on screenshots for VirtueVerse and the like, but I can't seem to figure out how to rotate the camera without also rotating my character. If it makes a difference, I'm on a MacBook laptop.

Thanks for the help in advance!

As I recall, I use the mouse wheel/mouse 3. On a PC at least, I know one or more of the pgup/pgdn/delete block of keys does this. Check your settings under the keybinding tab from the options window off the menu.

Thanks for the advice, and if I was using a mouse that'd be great. Unfortunately, I'm relegated to the trackpad because I can't rely on having a place to use a mouse. If anybody knows how to make the mouse 3 button work on a Mac trackpad, please let me know. In the meantime, I'll experiment with the keys.

Menu > Options > Keymapping > View > Rotate Camera

On the windows client, defaulted to middle mouse (not an option for you) and Page Up. I don't know how mac keyboards differ, but if page up is not an option, you can click on one of the two columns in the keymapping screen and set your own key for camera rotating.
