That's one approach. If you truss to the inside as opposed to the outside it's much easier. Put the window in like normal. Make the rough opening on the inside offset to the outside by 30 degrees and bevel those studs at the same angle. Then connect the studs with some cheap wood. This allows a greater viewing angle in a deep window return.
