Second Life-style camera
Second Life-style camera with ALT (option)/CTRL/SHIFT keys.
A camera control addon that brings Second Life's free-look camera system to Blender.
Hold Alt (Option on Mac) and click/drag with left mouse button:
- Alt + Click: Focus on object under cursor
- Alt + Drag: Orbit horizontally, zoom in/out vertically
Add modifiers for different modes:
- Alt + Ctrl + Drag: Orbit around focus point (no zoom)
- Alt + Ctrl + Shift + Drag: Pan camera
You can let go of the modifiers at any point to continuously move your camera towards your target destination.
What's New
1.0.4 February 21st, 2026
- Fix ALT+Click conflict with edge loop / edge ring selection in edit mode
- Keymap registrations changed from PRESS to CLICK_DRAG + CLICK, allowing Blender to disambiguate between click (loop select) and drag (camera control)
- Initial raycast on drag now uses the original press position for accurate focus targeting
Great idea, and works wonderfully. Thanks!
It would be better if also works with “lock camera to view”.
