In this animation, the assembly is exploded and the path assigned to the camera sled includes movement along the X, Y, and Z axes.

Navigating Through Objects

Features of this example animation:

  • The camera sled is a model of a spaceship that includes a line (hidden) and a point.

  • The Camera Position and the Target Point are attached to the end point of the line and a point, respectively.

  • The Field of  View includes the space ship as part of the animation.

  • Set roll by selection is selected, and the sketched plane is used to control Camera Rotation.

  • The defined path has the spaceship navigate around the spheres and through the open squares, using motion along all three axes.

Moving Through Enclosed Space

Features of this example animation:

  • Camera Position and Target Point are attached to the camera sled.

  • Set roll by selection is selected and the top face of the camera sled is used to control Camera Rotation.

  • The Field of View is adjusted to include an area slightly larger than the size of the cut to display all four "walls" during the animation.
