Navigating Vishva

moving and looking around

You move around in the world using your avatar. You use the standard "wasd" or arrow keys to move your avatar

key	to
a or left arrow	turn left
d or right arrow	turn right
w or up arrow	move forward
s or down arrow	move back
q	strafe left
e	strafe right

While moving you can also use your mouse to turn your avatar. To do that press left mouse button and drag mouse left or right to turn your avatar left or right.

While moving or stationary, press left mouse button and drag mouse up or down, to look up or down.

While stationary, pressing left mouse button and dragging it left or right, will rotate the camera around your avatar

At any time use your mouse middle scroll wheel, to zoom towards or away from your avatar by scrolling the wheel forward or backward

If you zoom too close to your avatar, your avatar will disappear and you will enter first person view.

Zoom out to go back into third person view.

checking objects around you

You can, of course, move you avatar towards an object, maybe in the first person view, and check the object,

A better way is to select an object and focus the camera on it.

To select an object, right click the object you are interested in.

When you do this three edit axes will appear on the object.

To focus, press the "F" key or right click the object again. The camera will now shift focus from your avatar to the object.

Pressing mouse left key and dragging the mouse will now move the camera around the object rather than around your avatar. Scrolling your mouse scroll wheel backward and forward, will zoom the camera towards or away from the object.

Pressing "CTL" key and dragging your mouse up/down or left/right, with any mouse key pressed, will pan the camera up/down or left/right. (If this does not happen then you probably forgot to focus on the object, press "F" to do that).

To shift focus back to your avatar either deselect the object or move your avatar.

To deselect the object press the "ESC" key.
