Camera and the Mini View-port

In addition to the 3D Preview Window, you may sometimes need another view-port to see another view at the same time. iClone provides the Mini View-port feature to display another mini window beside the main preview window, so that you may see two different views at the same time.

The Mini View-port turns iClone into a professional photography and film studio. You may then use it to observe your subjects between preview and custom camera mode.

  1. Prepare a project. Add a new custom camera and adjust its angle.
  2. Press down the Show Mini View-port button (Shortcut: F8) on the tool bar. The Mini View panel appears.
  3. Click the camera selector so that the camera's view shows on the mini view-port.

    Use the Camera Selector to switch the view to the custom camera.

    The Mini View-port is switched to the perspective of the custom camera.

  4. If you move the custom camera, then the view in the Mini View-port will auto-update.
  5. Press up the Show Mini View-port button again to close the view-port.
    ClosedNote:
    • The Mini View-port is always in Quick Mode; the Bump, GlowReflection, Refraction and HDR effects can not be shown on this view-port.
    • Any material key animations do not take effect in the Mini View-port.
    • It is for displaying the 3D scene; you can not pick any target in this port.
