How can I create a rear view of my character? (Workaround)

While it's currently not possible to turn a character so it faces the back of the scene (180 degrees), it's possible to use the following workaround to obtain a similar result. Check out the video below: 

 

Detailed steps are outlined below: 

1) Open the Characters tab and select a character.

2) Place the character in front of all assets in the scene and resize it accordingly.

3) Open the Props tab and search for “shapes”

4) Select an appropriate shape to cover the parts of the character (face, clothes details, etc.), following the lines of the character.

Example above uses two droplet shapes to cover the character's head. 

5) Match the shapes color to the colors of the character using the Eyedropper tool.

Note: For better results, we recommend using static poses or simple actions (where the character doesn't move much).
