[Bf-docboard] A simple Blender question the Docs still don't clearly answer

[Stefano Selleri]

Hi,

very direct question like this are usually better asked on Blender community
forum(s)
www.elysiun.com or www.blender.org, the first being probably the best
choiche.

For your question, I'd say that you must go with multiple scenes. Simply
have
scenes2 3, etc. be links, i.e. exact copies of scene 1, then make a Cam1,2,3
the active camera of each scene, one camera per scene, and use the sequence
editor to swithch scene.
