DESCRIPTION
This tutorial is a follow-up to the 3D Animation Curve tutorial.
ACTIONS
- Open the 3D Scene module. Select {System > 3D Scene} or press [Alt+C].
- Open the Rendering module. Select {System > Tools > Rendering} or press [Alt+R].
- Press the folder icon to open the file dialog window. (use skin image here)
- Browse and select a destination folder.
- Name the output video file and press [Export].
- Set the Output Resolution by adjusting the Width and Height sliders.
- Set the In and Out Points on the Timeline. Use 0 and 10 seconds as values in the context of this tutorial.
- Set the Frame Rate. (It should match your project and medias’ frame rates.)
- Select an option from the MSAA dropdown menu to set the level of anti-aliasing.
- Select the render Format.
- VCI: to keep the video in PHOTON (flatten a composition for example).
- MP4: to export a reference video.
- Select {Preview 3D} from the render Output Mode dropdown menu.
- Select which Sequence to render from the dropdown menu.
- Open the 3D Scene module. Select {System > 3D Scene} or press [Alt+C].
- Make sure to select the appropriate Rendering Mode. Select {View > any mode Rendering}or press [W] to cycle through Rendering Modes.
- Open the FX Graph module. Select {Show > FX Graph} or press [Alt+X].
- Click on the [Add Node] button and click-drag a /Time Source/ node (located under source) in the Graph window.
- Click-drag a /Rescale/ node (located under Math) in the Graph window.
- Connect the yellow output (Numeric) of the /Time Source/ node to the input of the /Rescale/ node.
- Replace the /Curve~/ node in the Graph by the /Time Source/ and /Rescale/ node combination.
- Select the /Rescale/ node and adjust the Max In slider to 10. (This will insure the 3D Camera movement will happen during the 10 first seconds of the Sequence.)
- Open the Timeline module. Select {Show > Timeline} or press [Alt+T].
- Add an FX Graph Clip on the Timeline. Adjust the Clip’s length so it fits the first 10 seconds of the Timeline.
- Select the Graph from the dropdown menu in the FX Graph Properties.
- Navigate back to the 3D Scene module and change the Default Camera to the Camera set as “Primitive ref” in the Graph.
- Navigate back to the Rendering module and Activate the [Record] button and wait for the task to finish
