button

Toggle whether to show the wireframes on the model.

You can also press Shift+W to do this.

button

Toggle between showing the patches in the UV view:

as they appear as part of the model, and

as they appear when exported (that is, as square images, with over-paint areas around the corners of the patches).

 

button

Toggle whether paint can be projected onto UV patches located outside the shells of the original geometry.

This control is only available in UV view.

button

Switch to the orthographic camera view.

 

button

Switch to the perspective camera view.

In this view, you can set the near and far
clipping planes and the field of view.

button

Switch to the UV camera view (the UV tab). This gives you a “flat” view of the patches in the model.

 

Near

text field

Set the value for the near clipping plane. Mari doesn’t display parts of the scene that are closer than the Near plane.

This control is only available in the perspective camera view.

Far

text field

Set the value for the far clipping plane. Mari doesn’t display parts of the scene that are further than the Far plane.

This control is only available in the perspective camera view.

FoV

text field, slider

Set the value for the field of vision. This controls how much Mari distorts the view when applying perspective. At 0, the
perspective camera gives exactly the same view as the ortho camera. As the value increases, the distortion increases.

This control is only available in the perspective camera view.
