Here are some commands to absorb.
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
t (or Up arrow) Cycles up through paths on timeline (by increments of 4)
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
g (or Down arrow) Cycles down through paths on timeline (by increments of 4)
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
SHIFT T/G (up, down)Cycles up/down through the Sub paths (by increments of 1)
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
Look at "1 cubic" on the timeline. this is path 1 that you have been working with.
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
under 1 cubic is:
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
-Roll
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
-Focus
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
-Cmd
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
-scale
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
Hitting 'g' (or the Down arrow key) will take you to the 2nd path, 't' (or the Up arrow key<65> This looking familiar yet?) will take you back to the 1st path. The '>' is an indicator to see what path you are on.
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
HOLD SHIFT and hit 'g' (Down arrow, etc.). this should take you the -roll path. Go down once more till your on the -focus path.
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
Drop a node by hitting CTRL, this isn't a 3d node in space, it is a node on a timeline, the color of the node is grey. Grey Nodes NEVER exist in 3D space.
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
Now the 1st path has a focus. We will want it to look at the 2nd Path. (Even though we haven't made it yet).
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
The info box says we can edit this node by hitting '1'... so lets do that.
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
hit '1'
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
A big list appears. move the mouse up and down, select path 2.
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
Now lets make a path on 2.
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
Find an area of the map that you would like your moving camera to look at. Go to that point in 3d.
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
go 2d. Move you timeline down to the 2nd path (2 cubic). NOT on focus or roll or cmd.
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
Drop A node. Move that node on the timeline to be at 0:0 seconds.
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|

0:00 0:02 0:04 0:06 0:08

|

|
|
2 cubic 0
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
Now play it back. The camera now moves yet still remains focused on one point in space.
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
Now go to path 2 and drop a second node somewhere. Move that 2nd node to 8 seconds. It now has it's own moving path.
|

Stand back and look at the whole thing and move the 2d cursor over the timeline. You can see where the points exist in time space.
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
You should also notice a grey line pointing from the camera to what it is looking at. if not, then your timeline must be on 1 cubic or 2 cubic (NOT roll, focus, or cmd).
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
Play it back. Then watch it with the 2d cursor over the timeline again. You can really see what the camera and its focus are doing.
|
|||
|
|
<P>
|
|||
|
|
Lets spice up the camera.
