To rotate the camera in Photoshop 3D, you'll use the 3D camera tools found in the Tools panel.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Select a 3D Camera Tool: In the Tools panel, locate the 3D camera tools. They are usually grouped together. Click and hold the mouse button on the active 3D camera tool to reveal a flyout menu.
- Choose the Rotate Tool (Orbit Camera): From the flyout menu, select the tool that allows you to rotate the camera. This might be called the "Orbit Camera" tool or something similar. Its icon typically resembles a camera rotating around a point.
- Rotate the Camera: Click and drag within the 3D scene.
- Dragging horizontally rotates the camera around the vertical (y) axis.
- Dragging vertically rotates the camera around the horizontal (x) axis.
- Constrain Rotation (Optional): To rotate only in one direction (either horizontally or vertically), hold down the
Shift
key while dragging. This constrains the movement. - Experiment: Practice using the orbit tool and other camera tools to get a feel for how they affect the view of your 3D model.
Essentially, select the Orbit Camera Tool and drag within the scene to rotate your viewpoint. Using Shift constrains the rotation to a single axis.
