Note:

As of 2023.2, there are some UI aesthetic and instructional differences between the videos and VRED, due to the Camera Editor decoupling project. Please see the video captures for updated instructions.

Video captions: In your camera parameters, open the Animation section. Select Get from View. VRED automatically sets the distance, height, and rotation angle of the camera to the geometry. With Angle, you can turn the camera around the geometry. To create a turntable animation, it is required to animate the Angle value (i.e., assigning the value over time). To do so, please open the timeline in the main menu bar and additionally open the Curve Editor via the Quick Access bar. In the Curve Editor, on the right-hand side under Channels, you can find all the parameters of the camera that can be animated. Select turnTableAngle from the list and use the command, Key Selected, to assign the value of the parameter to the frame 0. Navigate in the timeline to frame 100 and, again, execute Key Selected. Select the first key, and set the value to 0. so, for frame 0, the rotation value will be set to 0. Select the second keyframe and set the value of the rotation at frame 100 to 360. Play the animation with the help of the timeline.
