Quick Turntable

This tutorial covers how to make a turntable in Maya.

Step one - Position your camera to the angle you want it to be when the camera's spinning around your model.

Step two - Select your model

Step three - Go to the animation menu set and go to animate>turntable... Click on the options box to open the options.

The number of frames option is how many frames it will take to do a 360 degree camera spin around the model. The fewer the frames, the faster the camera will be. 100 frames is good for a fast spin; 240 frames is good for a slower spin. Now click turntable. This will create a new camera from the old camera, group that camera, and rotate the group.

Now play the animation.
