Use to: Navigate, dolly, and pan when viewing a scene. For example, use the Walk Viewer to look at architectural models from the inside, or to walk between buildings or across landscapes.
Find it: Choose View > Walk Viewer, or use Ctrl-k
The Walk Viewer uses a walking or driving metaphor to move the camera through the scene.
The Walk Viewer is one of two viewers in Cosmo Worlds. The other viewer, called the Examiner Viewer; lets you examine objects by rotating, dollying, and panning.
Both the Examiner Viewer and the Walk Viewer have a menu that you access by holding your right mouse button over the viewing area. Use this Viewer Menu to change the draw style (rendering characteristics) and preferences.
Trick: Click the Seek button , then click an object or point in your
scene to move quickly toward it. Click again before the movement stops
to seek toward a different object or point.
If you haven't looked at the Walk
Viewer diagram, do so now. This
image briefly describes the Walk Viewer's controls and toolbar buttons.
For a full description of the viewer toolbar and the View palette, see Tools to Use: Viewing. There is also a
viewer menu (accessed with the right mouse button). Use this to change
the draw style and viewer-related preferences. See Viewer Menu for details.
You can use keyboard shortcuts instead of the viewer controls. See Keys & Shortcuts for Viewing.
