Creating and Manipulating Custom Camera

Every Custom Camera can be seen, selected and manipulated in the Preview Window in the same manner as with any other object. This allows you to easily locate or change the angle of a custom camera, set keys to it or even have it move along a path.

Creating a Custom Camera

  1. In the Preview Window, pick a desired camera from the Camera Selector.

  2. Click the Add button in the Modify page.

  3. iClone duplicates the status of the camera selected in step 1 to generate a custom camera.

    What you're viewing through the Preview Window now is exactly what the custom camera would see.

Viewing the Custom Camera in Preview Window

  2. Zoom out the preview window and you may see the Gizmo of the custom camera.

  2. By default, the Modify page shows all the parameters of the current camera with the Current Camera option selected.
