I define orthographic lighting as a single light source that cast a shadow at the same angle no matter where the shape is? Either in front or behind the lamp shading is at the same angle.

Conditions: Blender render, toon shading (non gradient shading), and you cannot node any objects only the lamp.

Can this be done?

  • $\begingroup$ @Duarte Farrajota Ramos Yes for the lighting but sun mode might not be compatible with the conditions I have set. $\endgroup$

Use a Sun Lamp

Form the blender manual:

A Sun lamp provides light of constant intensity emitted in a single direction.

This direction can be changed by rotating the Sun lamp, like any other object, but because the light is emitted in a constant direction, the location of a Sun lamp does not affect the rendered result (unless you use the “sky & atmosphere” option).
