Director MX 3D Tutorial 117
Pan the camera vertically
Now you’ll test the pan behaviors that you added.
1
Play the movie.

Press the Up Arrow key to see the camera tilt up, and press the Down Arrow key to see the
camera tilt down.

When you finish moving the camera, stop and rewind the movie.
Add the Dolly Camera behavior
Another way to manipulate the view of a 3D world during movie playback is to dolly the camera.
Dollying is a motion picture technique in which the camera’s position changes without changing
the direction of the lens itself (as if the camera were transported forward and backward, without
turning, on a tripod with wheels).
For dollying, you will drag the behavior to the Score rather than the Stage, although you could
use either procedure.
1
If the Score is not open, select Window > Score.
2
In the Library palette, verify that 3D > Actions is selected.
3
Drag the Dolly Camera action from the Library palette to the Magic trick sprite in the Score.
Release the mouse button when the pointer appears with a plus sign and empty rectangle.
4
In the Parameters for Dolly Camera dialog box, specify the following:
•
In the Amount to Dolly Per Frame text box, type 20 .
The Dolly Camera action moves in world units, which are units of measurement unique to
the 3D world.
•
In the Which Group Does This Behavior Belong To text box, type dolly . Then click OK.
