Changing the Camera Position
To set the lights as well as to find a proper camera position for the picture, an efficient handling of the camera is needed.
The camera's position can be changed by clicking with a mouse button into the 3D graphics view and dragging the mouse:
- Left button: Rotate
- Middle or Wheel: Zoom
- Right button: Move view
- Left and Right button: Rotate in the screen plane
Try to zoom very close to the peptide, then very far away, and compare the brightness of the scene of both camera positions.
A roughly sensible camera position can be found by centering the camera on the entire peptide:
Find the widget with the name Structures and
highlight the System by clicking on its name ("ARND").
Then, press the right mouse button to open a context menu and press on the
Focus entry.
Press Next to continue.
