Title: Please help how do I animate in Mandelbulb 3D Post by: nanogirl on April 17, 2011, 06:30:57 PM Hello I am a newbie to the program. Please excuse me but I can not find a user guide or clear tutorial on how to use the program and I need to figure out how to make some zooming around animations for an animation project I am working on. Is there a user guide and I just don't know where it is located? Are there some tutorials, for some general walk throughs on the program, and how do I render out some animations? Thank you in advance for your time and knowledge. Gina Miller www.nanogirl.com

It's a fairly easy program to learn actually just by using it. I don't personally do animations but a good many members here do and if you just post questions you'd get plenty of feedback.

I'm afraid there is no animation tutorial, but I think the animation window is quite self-explanatory. Anyway feel free to ask any question...Or tell us about your animation project, maybe it's going to trigger something...

The simple explanation is to pick a starting point, click the little filmstrip with the numbers on it in the upper left to open the animation window, press the arrow to move the window data into the sequencer, go back to either the main window or the 3D Navigator (gives better animation paths with less "cutting" or "clipping" the actual object) and then move around a bit, set another keyframe (these can be set directly from the navigator) and repeat! When done, set an output folder, and click "start rendering animation images" then go get something to eat while it renders! The resulting image sequence is then compiled in a program like VirtualDub, or any video editor that handles image sequences. Hope that helps. If you have other questions, feel free to ask! |
