This is where you view the results of your renders and composites.

Lets you edit animation keys as curves.

Lets you edit animation keys as a spreadsheet of keys and ranges.

This is where you view the scene data, generated at the current view node in the Node Graph, in a hierarchical representation. The objects - such as geometry, particle data, volumetric data, materials, cameras, and lights - that make up the scene graph are called locations, and are referenced by their path, such as /root/world/cam/camera.

This is where you can view and edit parameters for the whole project.
