Creating a Viewpoint

You can create and edit a viewpoint in your ambience, and associate a backplate to it.

Before you begin:
  • You can only create a single viewpoint per ambience.
  • When an ambience including a viewpoint is used in other apps, you can change the viewpoint to update the current viewer with the corresponding camera parameters, and to display the corresponding backplate, if any.
  1. From the Ambience Studio section of the action bar, click Display Ambience Panel .
  2. Click the Viewpoint tab.
  3. Click Create Viewpoint .
    The created viewpoint is displayed in the preview and a new camera iteration is added to the list below.

    Some general and backplate parameters are now available to let you edit the new viewpoint.

  4. Click to active see-through mode.
    In this mode, any changes you make to the properties are automatically visible in the 3D area.

    The viewpoint is updated accordingly.



  5. To exit this mode, click again, or click in the immersive tooltip displayed on top of the 3D area.
  6. In the General area, modify the appropriate parameters to position the camera.
  7. Use the Backplate area to add a fixed image to your ambience.

    Important: The backplate is visible in the 3D area only when you are in the viewpoint it is associated with. As soon as you change the viewpoint (by zooming, translating, or rotating), the backplate automatically disappears. To display it back, double-click the camera node in the tree, or the camera representation in the 3D area to go back to the associated viewpoint.
