Camera & Presets

The Camera tab gives you quick access to preset viewing angles commonly used in 2D game art, plus manual controls for fine-tuning.

Camera Presets¶

Choose a preset that matches your game's perspective:

Camera Distance¶

Use the Distance slider in the Camera tab to zoom in or out. A larger distance shows more of the model; a smaller distance fills the frame.

Perspective vs Orthographic¶

The main camera can render in either Perspective or Orthographic mode.

• Perspective keeps natural depth foreshortening. Objects farther from the camera appear smaller.
• Orthographic removes perspective distortion. This is useful for isometric, tactical, pixel-art, and engine-facing sprite work where consistent scale matters.

You can switch camera type from the camera/settings controls and from workflow setup. The active camera type is used consistently by the editor viewport, workflow preview, workflow capture, and exported frames.

Orthographic uses zoom-like framing instead of perspective field-of-view. If a scene looks too close or too far after switching modes, adjust the orthographic zoom or use a fit/framing action for the selected model.

Manual Orbit¶

In the 3D viewport you can manually orbit the camera:

• Left-click + drag — Orbit around the model.
• Scroll wheel — Zoom in/out.
• Right-click + drag — Pan the camera.

After manually orbiting, re-applying a preset will snap the camera back to that preset angle.

Multi-Angle Workflows¶

If you need to export the same model from multiple directions (e.g. 8-directional walk cycles), use Workflows instead of manually rotating the camera. See the Workflows doc for details.

Workflow camera settings include the same perspective/orthographic choice as the main viewport. This lets you preview and capture a whole directional set with the projection style you intend to ship.
