Press the play button in the timeline, and you??™ll see your camera move from its
0 keyframe position to its 60 keyframe position.
LightWave Layout calculates frames 1-59, and you might notice that after a
keyframe at 60 is created (automatically with Auto Key), a motion path appears.
That??™s the white line you see connecting the camera??™s first- and last-frame positions.
Figure 2.7 The Rewind button in the timeline
quickly brings your timeline slider back to 0.
A good way to keep track of your keyframes is to simply look at the timeline. When
a keyframe is created, LightWave puts a small yellow dash at that point in time, like a
marker. If you??™re wondering how many keyframes you??™ve created, look to see how
many markers are in the timeline.
LightWave has interpolated the motion of the frames in between. If you do not
see the motion path, press d to open the Display Options panel and under the
OpenGL tab, make sure Show Motion Paths is selected. Of course, this motion
path is just a straight line. So, try what is suggested in this next step.
10. Move your timeline slider to frame 30. Then, move the camera in some way, perhaps
off to the side.
