Viewport

Viewport

The viewport shows your scene as currently rendered. You can freely move around the scene by manipulating the Editor's current camera.

Cameras​

Initially the Editor is set to use the Perspective camera. This camera is as if a movie camera was floating in your scene. You can use the camera dropdown menu to view the scene using various other cameras.

Camera Dropdown

The orthographic cameras: Top, Bottom, Front, Back, Left, Right, let you view a version of the scene with no perspective. Useful for fine-tuning positions.

You can also use the camera menu to select any of the camera Entities in your scene. This way you can position your in-game camera exactly as required.

Gizmos​

Gizmos

The 3-Colored Axis you can see in the screenshot above is called a Gizmo. This is used to manipulate the transform matrix of the selected Entity. There are three types of Gizmo: Translate (with arrows on the ends of the axes); Rotate (which is made up of three colored rings) and Scale (with cubes on the ends of the axes).

Render Mode​

You can modify the viewport render mode using this drop-down menu in the top-right of the viewport:

It allows you to toggle wireframe rendering:

You can also visualize your scene in various debug render modes. This restricts the rendered scene to just show albedo, normals, AO, emission and more.
