F.A.Q.

  • What are the key new features discussed in the tutorial? The tutorial focuses on the new camera options introduced in a recent version of Maverick Excelsier. These options include a library of stock cameras, the ability to save custom camera views, and the reuse of saved cameras across different models.
  • How can you apply a stock camera to your scene? To apply a stock camera, simply go to the new camera panel and click on one of the four available stock cameras in the library. This will instantly apply that camera's view to your scene.
  • How do you save a custom camera view? To save a custom camera view, first position your model as you desire in the scene. Then, click the "save camera" button in the camera panel. A new preview of your saved camera will automatically appear in the "saved cameras" panel.
  • Where are your saved cameras stored and can you access them later? Your saved cameras are linked to your user account when you enter the editor. This means you can access and reuse your saved cameras with different models in the future.
  • How can saved cameras help maintain consistency across multiple models? By saving specific camera views, you can easily apply the same perspective and framing to different models. This allows you to maintain camera consistency when creating renders or videos for various objects.
  • What is an important consideration when reusing saved cameras with different models? It is crucial to be aware of the pose of your model when reusing saved cameras. A camera saved for a model in a specific pose (e.g., a vertically positioned ring) may not fit correctly if applied to a model in a different pose (e.g., a horizontally positioned ring). You might need to adjust the model's pose using the pose panel before applying a saved camera.
  • How do you set the pose of a model for a specific camera? For cameras that require a model to be in a horizontal position, you will need to go to the pose panel and set the model's pose accordingly before applying the saved camera.
  • How do you delete a saved camera? To delete a saved camera that you no longer need, simply drag its preview from the "saved cameras" panel to the trash bin icon.
