I'd argue that zoom and dolly are both very natural operations...

When using a real camera, you use zoom a lot more than dolly :)

For instance, in rtrt (or at least what manta used to have since I've never used rtrt) holding down the right mouse button and dragging the mouse would modify the camera FOV. To actually move the camera forward and backward you had to hold down the shift key in addition to right mouse button and dragging. I think I speak for 99% of people when I say that is crazy and should be the other way around (which it now is).

I actually liked rtrt's controls... is there a reason you assign brain damage besides compatibility (which is huge, granted)?

They were remapped to match every other modeling system on the planet instead of Steve's brain damaged world view. There is not a compatibility mode, but it probably would not be that hard to add one.

Hi All,

Are the mouse buttons mapped differently between Manta and RTRT? If so, is there a reason for tihs? Is there anyway to put Manta into RTRT compatibility mode?

    Thanks,
