3D STUDIO VIZ R2 TRAINING CURRICULUM
Animating a Heliplane


  1. CREATING THE BACKDROP
    1. Since I started with the PUMP, the measurements have jumped drasticly and so I must apologize that the box dimensions for the 'BACKGROUND' has to be 2,000,000 x 2,000,000 x 500.


NOTE:
  1. The first time, I put the BACKGROUND scenery together, it took me atleast a week of fine tuning to get the AVI or GIF on Page 1 - without using the CAMERA.
  2. There is a glare in the centre of the BACKGROUND that must be focused out of the scene or AVI.
  3. Even the city MAP must be tamed: so that it appears that the HELIPLANE is flying across the BACKGROUND. Checking ENVIRON on the MAP will cause the BACKGROUND to stay centered on HELIPLANE!
  4. It is much easier to use a CAMERA in order to focus on the HELIPLANE and get an AVI out of it, but it has its drawbacks too.
  5. Here I present the CAMERA version!
