Viewport

Camera Selection

The drop-down menu above the viewport lets you select which camera the viewport shows.

On new scenes, the Default Camera is selected. This camera exists in every scene and cannot be deleted.

If the scene contains one or more Camera objects, they will be listed here in addition to the Scene tree.

When a camera object is active in the viewport, you can change its position and rotation not just using the respective fields in the Parameters tab, but also using the camera controls (see below). This allows to animate cameras intuitively. See Timeline for more details on creating animations.

In addition to these camera objects, there are orthographic projection modes for each of the six directions available. These modes can be useful for editing and alignment.

If the scene contains an Image Set with tracked camera poses, you can also select it as a camera. In the Scene tree, select the Image Set to cycle through the images and their corresponding cameras. This allows you to view the radiance field using the same camera pose and settings as the original capture shot to compare the results.
