Adding a Camera View

Set up your scene:

Files for this tutorial are in the \tutorials\lens_flares directory.

1. On the File menu choose Open, and then choose tut_marsandsun.max.
2. Activate the Top viewport and zoom out.
3. On the Create panel, click the Cameras icon and click Target in the Object Type rollout.
4. Click near the bottom of the Top viewport, drag toward Mars, and release.

   

   This creates a target camera pointing at the center of Mars.

5. Activate the Perspective viewport. Change it to a camera viewport by pressing C.
6. Click Truck Camera. In the Camera viewport, pan the viewport to the left so there is space for the sun on the right side of Mars.
