Using L3P you can achieve this look by using the -ca option with a small angle.
See examples in http://home16.inet.tele.dk/hassing/l3p_ca.html
Using POV's orthographic keyword in the camera definition would require
another way of calculating the optimum camera position.
I think one of the great features about L3P is that you always get a good
view in the first shot.

L3P doesn't support tilting the camera (yet :-), simply because I estimated
it a rare feature. I don't think I have gotten any requests either.
BTW see http://www.spiritone.com/~english/cyclopedia/sky.html

You can by using the -cg option. If the third parameter is negative,
its absolute value is used as PCT.
But I may add another option to use together with the -cc option.

I have added a check now.
