3D View

The 3D View provides a perspective visualization of your LED installation, showing screens positioned in three-dimensional space with real-time content rendering.

  • Orbit — Click and drag to rotate the camera around the scene
  • Pan — Right-click and drag, or hold Shift while dragging
  • Zoom — Scroll wheel
  • WASD Movement — Use keyboard for first-person-style camera movement:
    • W/S — Move forward/backward
    • A/D — Strafe left/right
    • Q/E — Move down/up

Positioning Screens

Select a screen to show transform handles. Use them to:

  • Move — Drag the arrow handles to reposition in X, Y, or Z
  • Rotate — Press R to toggle rotate mode, then drag the ring handles
  • Scale — Resize the screen (maintains panel grid proportions)

The New Project Wizard automatically positions multiple screens side-by-side with a small gap between them.

Display Options

The 3D View toolbar includes toggles for:

  • Environment — Choose between Dark, Light, or Sky backgrounds
  • Camera Type — Switch between perspective and orthographic projection
  • Grid — Show or hide the ground reference grid
  • Panel Borders — Show or hide individual panel outlines
  • Labels — Show or hide screen names and dimensions

Real-Time Rendering

Screens in the 3D view display their linked surface content in real-time. This includes:

  • Test patterns with animation
  • Video playback
  • Images
  • Panel Map overlays showing wiring data

Performance

The 3D view is optimized for 60 FPS rendering across all display configurations including:

  • Multiple screens with high panel counts
  • Active test pattern animations
  • Dual and quad view layouts
  • Up to 4K resolution

An optional FPS counter can be enabled to verify performance.
