Ok, I just got myself into another camera and now I am wondering how do I leave this camera without moving it over to another camera? OK, I know this is basic... I can dolly over to another camera but than I lose this camera position. Selecting a camera in the LE does not seem to help any...


Where are cameras in the manual anyway, I do not see anything about them in animation... hmm.


Thanks


Rich

Do you mean move to a different camera angle using the same camera?

You can avoid using 2 cameras, by keyframing a one frame camera move.

Im not sure if thats what you mean though,,,

P.s. you can also create another view by creating a new 3d window...

I double clicked on the base of one of my cameras, I wanted to make sure that I had the FOV the way I wanted, that put me insuide the camera, so that now my view is from inside that camera. I want to exit this camera with out having to move the camera away. I only have 2 cameras on this set (cheap budget I guess :D) and the other camera is probably hovering just behind me...

How do you exit the camera?

Does FPS mode just use the present camera mode also? This is all very basic I am sure... kinda odd the way that this works though...

help :)

try selecting other camera, then use the view from cam:icon_ViewFromObject:icon


Also set up a seperate floating 3d window for each camera view,,,

OK, that makes sense... I have a lot to learn about this whole movie business :D

I'll have to keep that as part of the set setup. Much to learn still...


Thanks Mr. Bones

You should be able to just switch back to perspective view.

Yea, I eventually figured that out :D So simple, yet not quite intuitive :) it was comical though.
