    Hi, I just want to ask you, how to switch a project from 3D view to 2D? Basicly I have a problem with overlapping of two objects. Because the one, which is closer to camera, has smaller sizes than the other one, but it appears to be bigger and the 2nd object is hidden. It don’t have to be solved by changing camera view…

    Click the Toggle Active View button in the upper right corner of View port to bring up the four views. Click it again in the corner of the desired view.

    Or Middle Mouse Button (if you have one) will do the same. Click MMB again in desired view to choose it. Or select view from “Panel” menu in View port.

    Or use the function keys:

    F1 Perspective view
    F2 Top view
    F3 Right view
    F4 Front view
    F5 Four views

    I’ve already tried that, but this in this view it looks completely different than in normal view. It’s not just 2D.

    I’m not understanding what you are trying to describe. Could you provide a screen shot of your view port?

    Ou, thank you so much. I misuderstood your previous answer, now it looks fine. By the way, do you have any idea, why I have increased brightness by 10 points on every object?

    Not knowing what you specifically mean by “brightness” I would have to guess that you most likely increased the intensity of your lighting or increased the Brightness parameter in a material channel.

    By the way, did you ever solve your issue with dynamics tags?

    Yeah, I reinstalled it and now it works just fine, thank you for your support!
