- [Instructor] To create an animation in Enscape,
the first thing you need to do
is go to the spot that you want your animation to begin at.
In this situation, I'd like to begin
on the inside of the building,
travel over toward where our dining room area is,
leave the building,
fly around and then look at the outside of our building.
To create that animation,
first, make sure that you go to this interior cam view
that was created by us earlier on.
And that's the view that I have here
and it's the view that we see here in Enscape.
Next, just so that you can see it a bit better,
I'm going to expand out Enscape.
Now I'm going to go through the process
of creating individual camera views
that will be brought together into one smooth animation.
The first thing that I want to do
is just click the little plus sign right here
because this is going to be where I start my animation at.
We can now see that there's this little triangle down here
that wasn't there before.
That's just indicating this view
that we're looking at right now
is going to be the beginning of our animation.
Next, I want to rotate around inside of this room
so that we're looking more toward the direction
that we're going to be walking.
So I'm holding down my left mouse button
and then I'm moving my mouse over to the right.
I like where this is at.
So I'm going to click the little plus sign again.
Next, I want to move forward.
So in order to move forward,
I can either hold down the arrow keys,
I can spin the wheel on my mouse,
or I could just use the letter W,
and to accomplish any of these,
you do need to click inside of the view
and then hold down your letter
and then you'll begin to move forward.
Once you get to where you want to be at,
you can come down here to the little plus sign,
and that takes another one of those frames
for where you're at.
Next up, I think I'm going to look back
toward the kitchen again.
So I'm going to rotate.
We just hold down the left mouse button,
look around, looking at the kitchen.
Click the little plus sign.
Next, I want to look back around in this direction.
So I'm going to rotate again.
Spin around until I can begin to see outside.
Click the plus sign.
Do that again until I see the human standing out here
on the deck.
He's kind of hidden behind the wall
but that's what we're looking at right here.
So I'm going to click on the little plus sign.
Next, I'm going to click inside of the view
and just ever so slowly just tap the letter W
until I'm standing out on the deck.
Then I'm going to left click, hold my mouse button down
until he comes in the frame.
Then click the plus sign.
Now I'm going to click inside of that view again.
And I'm going to tap the letter W,
fly to the outside of the building.
Click the plus sign.
I'm going to left click,
hold my mouse button down, spin around.
Click the plus sign.
By the way, this little gray thing that we see right here,
this is the camera path.
So this is the direction
that we've been moving throughout the building.
Next, I'm going to spin backwards the wheel on my mouse.
This orange thing is the actual camera,
so that's where we took our last frame,
our last snapshot.
I'm going to click the plus.
Next, I'm going to click right in here.
And now I'm just clicking the left arrow on the keyboard
because that's going to take me to the left.
Alternately, I could have used pan
or I could have clicked on the letter A on the keyboard.
I'm going to click the plus.
I'm going to continue to click that arrow key to move over.
You may need to click inside of the view,
depending on your situation
in order to get that to work
until I can see the two women standing
on the deck right here,
and this is where I want to end my animation.
So I'm just going to click on the plus.
Now that we've gotten through all that,
I can click on the little preview button,
it's right here.
It takes us to that inside.
And in a moment,
it will start to begin that animation process.
By the way, while we were doing that animation,
there was an option here for total duration.
If we'd wanted it to be more than 42 seconds,
all we would had to have done is type in here
for the duration to be a minute
or a minute and a half.
Whatever that duration is,
and it would have adjusted the video accordingly.
It's spinning around in order
to see that gentleman there.
Zooming back out again.
Once it gets to the right camera frame,
it's now moving back on across.
And then finally, it's going to be looking
at the two women standing on the decks.
In the next video,
we'll talk about how to go about exporting this video out
so that other people can view it.
