Getting Started with Cameras and Animation

Abstract

Now it’s time to create a camera for your scene and play the role of director. Everything a viewer sees in an animation is captured through the lens of your virtual camera, so setting up your camera and animating it properly is critical to producing a pleasing final product. In Quick Start 5, you’ll pick up where you left off in the previous tutorial by creating a new camera and animating it in a way similar to how a movie director might move a camera during the production of a movie. Doing so will set you up for the final tutorial—on rendering—in which you’ll make the final product come to life in the form of a rendered animation.
