Figure 2.4 The playback controls
in LightWave v9 Layout.
2. With a nice new default blank scene, all you??™re going to do is animate the camera.
Click Cameras at the bottom of the Layout interface, as shown in Figure 2.5.
Figure 2.5 Tell LightWave Layout that you want to work with cameras by selecting the
Cameras button at the bottom of Layout.
3. Because there is only one camera in the scene, it is automatically selected and
highlighted after you choose to use Cameras. If you had multiple cameras in the
scene, you would select which camera you want from the Current Item dropdown
list, just above the Cameras button.
Note
4. Make sure that the Auto Key button is on, beneath the timeline.
Layout??™s Auto Key function provides a great way to get started with keyframing.
When activated, it creates a keyframe to mark the position and rotation of an
object, camera, or light any time you move it within a scene. As your animations
get more sophisticated, you won??™t always want this turned on, but it??™s great for
blocking out a basic scene.
5. You can grab the slider in the timeline to make sure it??™s at frame 0 all the way to
the left.
