- [Instructor] Let's start off by taking…a look at the KeyShot interface.…Now KeyShot is an interactive renderer,…so the main window here is our main viewport.…Now, if you were to move the camera,…you'd notice how this kind of…gets a little fuzzy, and then it starts…to clear up as it renders the image.…Now before we actually get into how to…navigate and performance settings in KeyShot,…let's just take a look at the overview…of the interface.…So along the top here we have our File,…Edit menus.…
We also have menus for Environment,…Lighting, Camera, Image, and so on.…Now below here we have this toolbar…which has a lot of the same options here.…We have one here for CPU usage,…which we'll get to when we get to…performance settings.…We also have these here which allow us…to tumble or pan the camera.…So if I wanted to I could leave this…on tumble, left-click and drag,…and as you can see I can tumble the camera…or if I click on this I can pan the camera…or dolly the camera in and out.…
Now we also have the ability to add…additional cameras, which we will get to.…
