Viewports
The viewports in Studio are OpenGL® based and display all the scene items (objects, cameras, etc.).
You can create as many viewports in a layout as needed. A viewport can be switched to display a 3D/ 2D viewport, providing perspective and orthographic views.

Pressing the I key on your keyboard will enable/disable the information text displayed in the viewports.

Maxwell Studio provides different shading modes in the viewports. You can choose the appropriate mode by clicking on the display mode menu in the viewport title bar.

- Texture decal: Textures are previewed in the viewport without shading.
- Textured: Textures are previewed in the viewport with shading.

The grid visible in the 2D and 3D viewports gives you an indication of how big your objects are. It is recommended to use the grid to check if your objects are the size you intended. Please Scene scale for more details.
