Preview Window

The preview window is conveniently docked to the right of the window, making it possible to test for actor compatibility with a variety of different motions.

The Preview window allows you to:

  • Change camera perspectives.
  • Have the camera follow the actor, so you won't lose tracking of a motion with a large offset.
  • Preview identical motions applied across different actors.
  • Preview an actor with motion performed in different lighting conditions.
  • Mirror the actor's motion or have it move in place to check for symmetry and rigging conditions.
