Permits to create and position a new perspective camera in the 3D scene.
How to use
1. Click the Perspective camera icon or choose the Tools > Cam/Light > Perspective Camera command from the menu.
2. A new Perspective camera is added to the 3D scene.
XYZ coordinates of the new camera, when created, are 0,-1, 0 for position and 0,0,0 for target. You can easily adjust them by picking and dragging their hotSpots or by typing new coordinates in the Modeling Tool panel. To select perspective cameras, you must use the Hierarchy Browser, which lists all the cameras in the 3D scene.
Cameras in the 3D scene, just as lights, are listed twice: the first time, under World, they are displayed in order of insertion in the scene; the second time, under Cameras, they are displayed together so that you can have a quick feedback as to which cameras are in the scene.
Once you select a perspective camera and switch to Edit mode, it will be displayed in the views allowing you to interactively adjust both its position and target.
If you click the view name on the left of the title bar, you will find any defined perspective camera.
The perspective view will display what the Perspective camera you select sees.
