Turntable Camera

Turntable Camera adds a new camera panel that automatically generates key-frame sequences of turntable animation whose parameters can be rapidly refined.

Built for the purposed of model demonstration, spritesheet and flipbook creation, and website product gallery/carousel rendering.

Parameters:

Turntable:

• Root Empty: If enabled, a new empty will be created as the parent of the camera. A parent object is required to move a turntable camera away from the origin.

• Start: Frame at which to start the turntable

• Range to Scene: If enabled, scene render range will be updated to match the turntable animation duration

• Steps: Number of steps in turntable rotation.

• Custom Range: Use custom start and end angles for the turntable rotation.

  • Start: Turntable Start Angle
  • End: Turntable End Angle

• Offset: Constant offset angle to apply to turntable rotation.

• Hold Frames: Hold each camera position for this many frames. Useful when creating turntables of animated content such as flipbooks or multiangle sprite animations.

• Distance: Constant Camera distance

• Shift: Constant XY Shift

Elevation:

• Interpolation: Stepped: Constant elevation values. Used for rendering spritesheets, product galleries, flipbooks, and similar. Linear: Smooth elevation changes. Most appropriate for animated turntables such showing off a 3d model
• Steps: Number of elevation steps
• Start: Initial elevation angle
• End: Final elevation angle
• Offset: Constant offset angle to apply to elevation values.

Visualization

• Visualize: Create visualized object when enabled.
• Direction Scale: Scale camera direction indicators
• Show Path: Whether to display connected positions
