Adjusting the 3D camera
In addition to manipulating 3D objects or characters, you can also change the position of the 3D camera to get the composition that you desire for your work. Think of the 3D camera just like a camera on a movie set. It can be rotated or moved around to frame the actors (3D characters) and scenery just the way the director wants!
Tip
Not sure whether you moved the character or the camera? Take a look at the ground plane, which is the "checkerboard" floor area underneath the characters and objects. If the character is standing straight up and down on the ground plane, it means that the camera was moved. If the character is floating above or below the ground plane, or part of the way through it, it means that the character or object was moved.
