How to navigate inside the 3D viewer, straight from the official documentation:

Methods of panning viewers:
— Middle-click and drag to pan around the viewer.
— Hold down Shift and Command and drag the viewer to pan.
— Drag with two fingers on a track pad to pan.


Methods of scaling viewers:
— Click a viewer, and press the equals key (=) to zoom in, and the minus key (-) to zoom out.
— Press the middle and left mouse buttons simultaneously and drag left or right to resize the viewer.
— Hold down the Command key and use your pointer’s scroll control to zoom in and out of the viewer.
— Hold down the middle mouse button, and then click the left mouse button to zoom in, or click the
right button to zoom out. The scaling uses a fixed amount, centered on the position of the cursor.
— Click a viewer and press Command-1 to resize the image in the viewer to 100 percent.
— Click a viewer and press Command-2 to resize the image in the viewer to 200 percent.
— Click a viewer and press F to reset the image in the viewer to fit the viewer.
— Click the Scale viewer menu and choose Fit or a percentage.
— Right-click on a viewer and choose an option from the Scale submenu of the contextual menu.
This includes a Custom Scale command that lets you type your own scale percentage.
— Hold down the Command key and drag with two fingers on a track pad to zoom in and out
of the viewer.


Methods of spinning 3D viewers:
— In 3D Perspective view, hold down the middle and right mouse button, then drag to
spin the stage around.
— In 3D Perspective view, hold down the Shift key and drag with two fingers on a track pad to
spin the stage around

Amazing tutorial, please do more Davinci 3D text tutorials like this (especially recreating Element 3d/blender/C4D text looks)

[jdpet]

merci pour le partage c'est super😀

[superpredator]

What about the finish? When I go back to the media, the title I placed is there, but it's black and is covering the video itself instead of showing up as a title.

[jacquestuffal]

I found your channel just a few days ago. I like it and I subscribed. i like the topics, the way you develop your projects as they teach us many tips. I also like your accent :) are you french? (I am)

[cinemagic-vy]

I have a question, in the bevel depth, bevel width and smoothing angle it doesn't work. no matter what i do, it doesn't change anything, same with custom, can you help me? What can i do? otherwise a great video

[mattfilmmaker]

The bottom node background is not connecting to me. What can be? tanks

[NICONIXDESIGN]
