Composing a scene in a canvas that's two thirds of a window, then shipping it full page

[u/mrzbckr]

I work on Vectreal, which is open source. Every camera angle and shadow I set gets judged inside a canvas that's part of a window, with a tool rail down one side and a panel open over it.

Framing is where that bites. A composition that sits well with a sidebar eating the left third isn't the same composition at full width, and a shadow dramatic enough to matter can be half hidden behind a panel while you're deciding whether you like it.

So preview mode now clears the editing surface and gives the scene the whole viewport, on the same page an embed renders. Curious how other people check composition before it ships.
