The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for manipulating a camera perspective within a digital environment for rendering three-dimensional objects against a background digital image. In particular, the systems and methods described herein display a view of a three-dimensional space including a horizon, a ground plane, and a three-dimensional object in accordance with a camera perspective of the three-dimensional space. The systems and methods further manipulate the camera perspective in response to, and in accordance with, user interaction with one or more options. The systems and methods manipulate the camera perspective relative to the three-dimensional space and thereby change the view of the three-dimensional space within a user interface.
