03 Camera Animation Techniques in Cinema 4D
Added 2021-03-01 16:10:59 +0000 UTCThis month is about cameras!
Video ended up being a bit longer than expected but hopefully it's packed with lots of information.
I added bookmarks to the YouTube video in case you want to check out specific parts of it.
Let me know what you guys/gals think!

Hey, so I was actually training on this video and had the same problem. Here's a solution I found: On the Align to Spline button, click on "Tangential" and the axis should be on 'X', at least on my project that is, Then you should be able to rotate using the radius parameter.

Hopefully that answers your question, if not feel free to DM me and we can go more into it. Thanks!

Maybe it's a stupid question, but how did you rotate the camera angle to the left at the start of animation for second frame (18:05) it doesn't allow me to rotate it because of Target tag. In first frame I used Null object to control the rotation of camera angle but you did it in different way. Could you please share that?

2021-12-19 02:02:51 +0000 UTCHi again ,you may be able to load the layout file you use in cinema4d. Thank you so much

2021-08-20 22:52:49 +0000 UTCVery good, I would like to see more videos about camera animations and animated product also with simple files to download. thank you

2021-07-02 11:15:34 +0000 UTCYou can go to View > new view panel and then dock that anywhere in the layout and set it to be a perspective view our any ortho view. I think you should be able to do so with r20

2021-07-02 11:15:06 +0000 UTCThat was great these are some of the techniques that have been eluding me when doing camera animation. I enjoyed this thank you.

2021-07-01 20:06:58 +0000 UTCThis is going to be a dumb question, but how do I set up multiple perspective views like you have in the video, that allows you to change the cameras you can choose? I'm still in R20 unfortunately.

2021-07-01 18:51:39 +0000 UTCThanks for the kind words Jason! And yeah you are totally right, I use that function for really long timelines and loops but it could definitely be used in this situation as well. thank you!

2021-03-10 10:38:17 +0000 UTCHey Jesus! Thanks for making this! I learned some stuff I didn’t know which is always great! That mute keyframes button is 👌. On your last tip, if you use the Functions> Track Before / After>Continue After, it will continue the tangent of the last key frame. Could save you a couple clicks! Thanks again!

2021-03-04 21:14:38 +0000 UTCThis is so cool! I'd love to try your C4D layout. Do you mind sharing that layout file?

2021-03-03 13:17:08 +0000 UTCI love that align to spline rig on the circle! Such a good idea, Jesus.
