Realtime camera control

Indigo's ability to dynamically edit scene data allows for realtime camera movement, which is very useful for final tweaking of a shot, or simply exploring the scene with full lighting.

There are two ways to effect realtime camera changes: via the on-screen buttons, and via keyboard and mouse controls.

Using the on-screen buttons

To use the on-screen buttons, click and drag on the buttons in the top-right corner of the main render and OpenGL preview windows:

Rotate Rotates the camera's view direction.
Pan Pans the camera.
Dolly Moves the camera forwards and backwards along the view direction.

Using the keyboard and mouse

In the main render or OpenGL preview window:

Hold Alt + left mouse button, drag Rotate Rotates the camera's view direction.
Hold Alt + middle mouse button, drag Pan Pans the camera.
Hold Alt + right mouse button, drag up/down Dolly Moves the camera forwards and backwards along the view direction.

Holding the Shift key while performing these actions reduces the mouse sensitivity, for more fine-grained control.

Mouse sensitivity and inversion options can found in the Options dialog, in the "OpenGL and Controls" tab.
