Operating with Camera and Transform Tools

For the ease of use and convenience, Character Creator is designed with the same mouse controls for both camera operation and object transformation. This method of control allows you to edit scenes with one hand on the mouse and the other on the keyboard, saving you from moving your hand back and forth among the keys.
