To work efficiently in Mudbox, you must be able to view and sculpt your 3D model from many points of view. You do this by
adjusting the position of the viewing (perspective) camera in relation to your model by dollying (zooming), tracking (panning),
or tumbling (orbiting) the camera.
NoteMudbox uses a three-button configuration for camera actions similar to Autodesk® Maya®.
