Using the Motion Lab in Bryce

Video Transcript

"MATT NICHOLS: Hey, everybody. My name is Matt and speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. All right, I'm going to go ahead and create a terrain and you can--this square back here, the great out square [PH], that's your camera. You can select that and animate that as well. And if you come up here to at the top left, it looks like a director's chair and click that, it's going to toggle into your camera and you're going to see what you see in the camera. You can, as I said before, animate the camera. I'm going to add the key frame and go to a further point in time and rotate my camera so I'm looking at my environment from a different perspective and when I scrub my playhead back. You can see it animates the camera and you can see how that looks. Another thing you can do is if you come down here to the bottom right and click the motion lab button, that's going to take you to the advanced motion lab and from here you have even more control over your animation. You've got different objects that are animated here in the bottom left and you can turn them on and off using the eyeballs here. I'm going to select camera and it gives you some more options. If you select--I'm going to select position and come up here and you could see, you've got a graph and this is going to change how smoothly your animation transitions and if I hit play, you can see it changes how the animation looks and when you're happy with your animation, you can come down here and click return to Bryce. But there is a lot of different things you can play around within the motion lab. And another thing you can do is if you come down to looks like a piece of film here and click the preview animation button, that's going to give you a preview of your animation here and it's going to show you all the frames. It's going to render them out [PH] really quickly and when that's done, you can come to the first frame and click play and it's going to give you a preview of your animation."
