Realtime camera controls
In case you didn't know, you can move around the scene in realtime in Indigo. It's easy to miss the realtime camera control buttons, as they're quite small. They can be found on the top right of the main render and OpenGL preview windows.
You can also move around the camera with keyboard and mouse combinations.
