whilst we're on the rotoscopy trip i would like to add - many moons ago in the land of old soft you could rectangle zoom into a perspective window and the use the pan tool to move the camera around (not the view - the camera) which made life easier for matching camera positions, in xsi land (which is far superior in most respects) when you rectangle zoom and use the oan tool the rotoscope image goes with it - so you have to select the camera and interest and translate them instead which is much more of  a pain. Might this be one of the issues that soft is aware of?
 
cheers

Hi Kris,

I can't really comment on future development but we are aware of the
issues faced
when trying to use rotoscopy for modeling in ortho views.

Thanks.
