ProtoSphere Tip of the Week #3: Enabling the Free Camera View

The ability to control your view of the 3D environment in
ProtoSphere is important, however we’ve designed it so that you don’t have to
be a rocket scientist to figure it out. We’ve employed simple interactions,
such as hitting the V key on your keyboard to toggle back and forth between 1st
and 3rd person views, enabling the scroll wheel on your mouse to do
the same, or allowing you to right-click and drag your mouse in order to look
around the space. But did you know there’s another view in ProtoSphere that
gives you a lot more flexibility in where you position your camera, called the “Free
Camera View”?
The video below shows what this looks like:
To enable this view, hit CTRL + SHIFT + C on your keyboard. You’ll notice that your camera
appears to detach itself from your avatar. While in this mode you can use
either the left or right click actions and drag your mouse to change the angle
of the camera. You can also use the following keys to move the camera around:
While in this mode, you’re moving your camera around, not
your avatar. But you can still interact with objects, such as clicking on a
chair, or zooming into a Media Board.
To return your view back to what it was prior to entering
this Free Camera View, simply hit CTRL +
SHIFT + C again on your keyboard.
