Andrew Owens Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 This trick allows you to Orbit and Zoom in realtime while your animation is playing. You should have an Open GL graphics card, and works best if the length of the animation is at least 5 seconds. 1. In an IC Scene that has animations in it, push the 'On' icon on the SmartMotions toolbar to activate the animation mode. 2. Push the 'Play' icon on the SmartMotions toolbar to start the animation. 3. When the animation starts, use the mouse wheel while the mouse pointer is in the Scene. This activates the Zoom command. 4. After the Zoom command has been used once while the animation is playing, the mouse wheel button (middle button) is now unlocked for the 'Orbit Camera' command as usual. 5. In addition, it is now possible to use the Target, Dolly, & Pan camera commands while the animation is playing. Enjoy Andrew Owens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
