Minimal Pan Orbit Camera

A minimal example showing the steps needed to get started with the plugin.

Controls:

Pan: Left mouse button + drag
Orbit: Right mouse button + drag
Zoom: Mouse wheel

This controller relies on picking to determine what point to orbit around and zoom towards: your motion will be relative to the point under the mouse cursor.
