How to use

Loading scenes, models and textures

• Drag the files inside the Panel Scene window and the files will be loaded in the Panel Project
• You can also copy the files to the Assets folder and the Engine will import the files and show them in the Panel Project

Menu items

• File
  • New: Create new empty scene
  • Load: Load a scene

Scene view navigation

Left click to focus on the scene window first.

• Right-click to enter flythrough mode
  • WASD + QE to move around
  • Mouse to look around
• Alt + Left-click to orbit around the camera focus
• Alt + Right-click to zoom with the mouse (moves the camera focus)
• Mouse wheel to zoom (moves the camera focus)
• Arrow keys to move around
• F key to focus around the geometry
• Shift to move faster (5x)
• W/E/R to translate/rotate/scale selected object

Movement and zoom speed depend on the distance to the focus point (zooming out makes moving and zooming faster).
