My screen resolution is set to 1024x768. I typically like to work in Bryce with images in the same dimensions. It actually works OK giving me maximum working area in the image, except for the pan (the little hand way int he lower right hand corner). When I go to the image to pan, going up and left is great, but I have to do dozens of little, tiny clicks to go down and left. Upshot of my question is, is there another way to pan that anyone knows of? One of those hidden commands that Bryce is infamous for? My hopes aren't high, but it doesn't hurt to ask

Without really checking that much into it I know that holding down the Ctrl+Alt keys and using the arrow keys will pan but it seems really fast so I had to use quick taps on the arrow keys. There may be a setting that will slow it down a bit? Like I said I really didn't check it out all that much. Have fun Dave

Don't use the little hand, or the plus and minus signs when you are in the "Main Camera" view. The hand does not move the camera, nor does it pan it. What it does is move the frame within the field of view already set. Notice that when you move the frame as far to one side as you can with the hand, the imgae becomes distorted. Select the top view and note the camera target in relation to the field of view marker, you will see the marker skewed to one side. To pan, tilt, or dollie the camera in the main camera view (Perspective), use the camera interface on the left side of the frame. The + & - only control the field of view, or focal length and will center the frame on any selected object when used. They do not move the camera. Use the hand and the + & - when you are in the side, front and top views (Orthographic). Select an object and then use the + to zoom directly to that object.

Ctrl+Alt+arrow, huh? I'll have to try that. Alleycat, actually, I only use the pan when I'm actually on the render of the image. While I work in 1024x768, I render it larger, setting the document settings to 3072x2304. That way when I get into a paint program, I can make it smaller with a higher dpi without losing much. I always use the controls you circled when on placing things. Thanks

I'm wondering if there is a different key combo that gives a slower reaction? The key combo I gave will only pan left or right per arrow direction. The up and down arrows will zoom in or out. Have fun Dave

Duh, I did a stupid thing,(I looked at the manual. Page 23 of the Bryce5 manual. Hold down the spacebar and use your mouse. Also a few other options for panning can be found on that page. The key combos work as I have discribed but the spacebar way is much better. Have fun Dave

omigod! space and mouse?! Doh! the manual. Hmm, y'mean that book that I've barely opened other than trying to figure out the deep texture editor? Thanks DM! You've just saved me a lot of frustration by doing what I should have done in the first place :)

You can also seperate the create and edit menu by using the hand and have them both visable at the same time.

THANK YOU GREGSIN !!!! That was an advice of GOLD !!!! Sky :-)

Uhhh...everything can be moved with the hand and spacebar...COOL !!!!!
