This camera settings page for 3D projection is displayed for Mug Typography 3D, Mug Typography Lite (3D), and Mug Typography Scripting. Adjust the orientation of the text itself in Global / Character Settings (or from Lua in Scripting), and adjust the viewpoint and projection method on this page.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
Target	The position the camera looks at. It uses the same normalized coordinates as Global Position, with 0.5, 0.5 at the center of the canvas.	X0.5Y0.5
Camera Yaw	The horizontal angle around the target. Positive values move the camera to the right.	0°
Camera Pitch	The vertical angle around the target. Positive values look down from above.	0°
Perspective Strength	The intensity of the perspective effect. Higher values produce stronger trapezoidal distortion like a close, wide-angle view, while lower values produce a flatter, telephoto-like view.	0.5
Camera Zoom	Changes the size of the projected text while preserving perspective.	1.0
Lens Shift	Shifts the projection center along the X/Y axes without rotating the viewpoint. Positive Y moves it upward.	X0.0Y0.0

Controlling the Camera in the Viewer

Set Selection Mode to Camera to display dedicated controls in the viewer.

Action	Setting Changed
Drag the Orbit handle	Camera Yaw / Camera Pitch
WinAlt/MacOption + drag an empty area	Camera Yaw / Camera Pitch
Drag the Target Pad	Target
Drag the Zoom handle left or right	Camera Zoom
Drag the Perspective handle left or right	Perspective Strength
Drag an empty area outside the controls	Lens Shift
Hold Shift during any of the above drag operations	Constrain movement to the axis with the greater displacement

TIP

Perspective Strength is designed to change only the perspective while preserving the apparent size. Use Camera Zoom to adjust the size within the frame, and use Global Scale when you want to change the size of the typography itself.

Choosing Between Camera and Object Controls

• Tilt all text in place: Global Yaw / Global Pitch
• Tilt only a specific character: Character Yaw / Pitch
• Move characters or parts forward or backward: Z Offset
• Change the direction from which the scene is viewed: Camera Yaw / Pitch
• Translate only the composition: Lens Shift
• Change perspective: Perspective Strength
• Change the size within the frame: Camera Zoom
