Viewport Navigation and Display
The viewport is the real-time, GPU-accelerated view of your groom, rendered with Vulkan. This page explains how to move around in it and how to control what it shows. For switching between top, front, side, and camera views see Orthographic Views and Cameras, and for opening more than one viewport at a time see Multiple Viewport Windows.
Navigating the view
Ornatrix App uses a familiar mouse-and-modifier scheme to orbit, pan, and zoom the camera:
- Orbit (rotate): hold Alt and drag with the left mouse button.
- Pan: drag with the middle mouse button (no modifier needed).
- Zoom (dolly): hold Alt and drag with the right mouse button, or roll the mouse wheel.
- Focus selected: press F to frame the current selection in the hovered viewport, so the selected geometry fills the view.
Panning and zooming speeds scale with the distance to what you are looking at, so navigation stays comfortable whether you are framing a whole character or a single strand.
Choosing a view
A clickable label in the top-left corner of the viewport shows the current view (for example Perspective or Front). Click it to open a menu where you can switch to any of the standard orthographic views or look through a camera in the scene. The same options are available from the viewport settings menu. See Orthographic Views and Cameras.
Display options
The viewport settings menu (the gear icon) controls how the scene is drawn, including how hair, guides, and base meshes are displayed. For the full set of hair and guide display options - such as drawing strands as lines or as shaded geometry - see Hair and Guide Viewport Display.
Preview rendering
To see your groom with lighting, shading, and materials, switch the viewport to a rendered preview powered by AMD Radeon ProRender. See Rendering with ProRender.
