Blender 3-D View Pivot Point

December 19, 2012 by Chris Johnson. Filed under blender, public.

Rotating the 3-D view in Blender sometimes behaves strangely. The pivot point seems to lie somewhere between me and the screen, making it very difficult to manipulate the view.

The fix is to change the pivot point. Options include:

• Numpad . to pivot around the selection’s center.
• Shift C to pivot around the 3-D cursor.
