The Interface

Introduction to the Interface

The key to SOFTIMAGE® 3D is its user interface. It provides you with the basic tools needed to create your masterpieces. Together with the keyboard, a mouse, and an optional tablet, the interface lets you access a vast array of tools.

This chapter covers the elements that make up the SOFTIMAGE 3D interface display. These include all of the features displayed on your screen when SOFTIMAGE 3D is loaded, including the server bar, the menu bars containing the various menu cells and their commands, the window types and their title bar options, the wireframe colour box, the playback box, and status bar.
