Interface
Overview of Interface
ChronoSculpt is a simple application that doesn’t need a complex interface to have powerful
results . Most things should be fairly intuitive . The main viewport is a Perspective view of your scene
that can be navigated around using the three buttons at the top of the screen or their keyboard
shortcut equivalents of
Alt+Shift+LMB
for panning the scene,
Alt+LMB
for orbiting the scene or
Alt+Ctrl+LMB
for zooming .
To the left of the navigation controls are the display modes:
•
Wireframe
- the basic wires for your scene;
•
Hidden Line
- only shows the wires for the front faces;
•
Wireframe Shade
- shows shaded polygons with a wireframe;
•
Flat Shade
- flat shaded polygons, best for mechanical models;
•
Smooth Shade
- smooth shaded polygons, best for organic models .
Tools that need additional settings present a HUD in the viewport . Values can be changed with the
sliders or typed in . Alternatively, the
RMB
can be used directly in the viewport to set the radius for
example .
At the bottom of the viewport you will see the name of the project, the active object with its
polygon count and a frame number .
