Abstract
A system manipulates an object in a three-dimensional graphical scene that includes a graphical camera in a first position and a first orientation. The system receives an object manipulation indication and identifies an improved viewing location of the camera for manipulation the object. The system then moves the camera to a second position and second orientation based on the improved viewing location. Finally, the system receives an end of object manipulation indication and moves the camera back to the first position and first location.
