Transform Camera -- Roll

[tgraupmann]

I find it intuitive to pan and rotate around the the X, Y, or Z axis. But what about roll. If the angle gets skewed, I can rotate in a clockwise or counter clockwise to get the effect. But it would be better if you could roll around an axis.

I am not sure if you have tried this. Press and hold the Shift key. Click and drag the cursor on the canvas and release the Shift key. That will enable roll based on the Z axis of the canvas.

The key/mouse click combo is the same as for Zoom, just with Shift instead.

If the object is snapped to an axis when you start rolling you might encounter the irritating Gimbal lock. A slight adjustment to the axis will get around it.

Oooo, I didn't realise this, great tip, thanks!
