Creating Animated Walkthroughs

• Create a path through the model by starting the Walkthrough tool.
  You’re put into a sketch mode where each click creates a keyframe that lets you change the direction of the camera. Think about how a camera would move through or around a build-ing. When you’re finished sketching, click the Finish button on the Options bar.
• Edit the keyframes along the path so the camera looks in the proper direction, by clicking the Edit Walkthrough button in the Options bar
  In this mode, you can edit the camera and path. The default setting allows you to step through each keyframe using the VCR-style controls and adjust the camera direction in the view. You can only edit the camera direction at keyframes. To see what the camera sees, click the Open button. Keep stepping through keyframes and adjusting the camera. In the camera view, you can enable the Dynamic View controls and change the direction the camera is looking just as you can in a 3D perspective view.
• With the walkthrough view open, export the walkthrough to .avi format by choosing File Export Walkthrough. Figure 12.36 shows the resulting Save As dialog.
