This is a super basic video demonstrating the technique of moving your view around in the viewport of Maya. These are the function keys to translate (move around), rotate and dolly (zoom).

wilhelmrahn...yeah I got a newer video card now and I don't suffer nearly the issues with the video card I used to have. I was running on the mobo's integrated video card at 64MB of memory lol. Check the newer tuts and you'll see an improvement with the 256MB card

How do you pan the camera side to side/up and down on a laptop???

[akumas07]

How can i move sideways when the cross hairs show on a imac? No middle button on the mouse and i can zoom in and out and rotate. Help?

@3Rton Wow that sucks, I'm new and idk what to do sorry :(

@magemaniac33 the thingy in top right corner? well ofc I use it but it's not the same thing. When I do that it moves the camera around the object as if it was tied to ball shaped frame around it. When you pan it moves more like in square shaped frame before it. So the problem is like, if I am zoomed close to work on detail or such, without pan I cant move to up/down or sides which makes it really hard sometimes and frustrating >>
