INTERFACE
CINEMA 4D interface consists of various components such as title bar, Viewport, Com-
mand Palette, Modes Palette, main menu, and so on, as shown in Figure 1-3. All these com-
ponents are discussed next.
Viewport
Viewport is a part of the work area where you can create a 3D scene. Every viewport has a
grid placed at the center. A grid is a framework of intersecting lines placed perpendicularly
in the X-Z plane. At the center point (origin), the X, Y, and Z coordinates will be 0, 0, and
0, respectively.
Note
In CINEMA 4D, the X, Y, and Z axes are displayed in red, green, and blue colors, respect-
ively, refer to Figure 1-3.
