Overview

The viewport displays the effect and various statistics in the HUD.

Interface

1. Viewport
2. Capture thumbnail
3. Save current view as default effect view (Ctrl+E to reset view to default effect view)
4. Set the camera position to fit the entire effect in the view
5. Reset effect
6. Stop effect
7. Play / Pause effect
8. Simulation speed coefficient
9. Framerate limiter
10. Enable/Disable editor “loop preview” mode (not applied at runtime, only a preview helper)
11. When loop is enabled, delay until next instantiation of the effect
12. Enable simulation timing captures
13. Enable instrumentation (must have experimental instrumentation driver setup)
14. Capture debugger values for whole simulation (sim must be paused, warning: can be slow !)
15. Nodegraph compilation mode. “Shipping” has extra optimizations done when baking assets for the runtime, causes some editor features to not be available, such as debugging.
16. Shape debug display mode
17. Enable shape debug display
18. Show builtin 3D ground plane grid
19. Gizmo mode. Gizmo is currently active only when selecting the “Root” element of the layers treeview, to move the effect instance around. Shortcuts are Q, W, E, R
20. Gizmo transform mode: World / Local
21. Simulation bbox display mode
22. GPU simulation toggle ON/OFF
23. GPU simulation hint (only used when #22 is ON)
24. Show effect editor preferences
25. Show/Edit camera position X, Y, Z
26. Show/Edit camera orientation X, Y, Z
27. Reset camera position and orientation
28. Simulation stats
