Creating tour

Viz4D Tour is created by multiple cameras. It works by transitioning from camera to camera until the end.

Overview video of how to create tour:

Detailed explanation

INFO

We automatically transfer all cameras from 3dsMax to Viz4D Tour. Because of that, you will see some cameras already created in Tour Cameras.

Creating camera

Click “Add camera at current view” button to create a camera at the current position with the current camera setting.

The camera’s setting includes all properties in the “Camera” section:

  • Field of view

  • Cross section

  • View mode

    • Orbit mode: it is equivalent to orbit navigation in 3dsMax.
    • Walk mode: it is equivalent to walk-through navigation in 3dsMax.
  • Camera clipping

TIP

💡 The first camera of the tour is also the first view when the visualization begins.
