Moving turntable?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hey, annoyingly no tutorials seem to be available showing you how to have a turntable moving/scrolling even though it’s on almost every showreel, so i feel the answer must be annoyingly simple. unless every small rotation is keyframed?

I saw something called turntable plus on here saying that it could do that, but i couldn’t install it, and it’s only advertised for V3.1 so i feel like it should be a part of Zbrush now anyway

Can anyone help? I just want a simple zoomed in turntable that scrolls up whilst spinning, Thanks

I read through all this, i know about keyframes, but is there anyway to like keyframe the direction from bottom to top, but then have that spinning round, or do i have to keyframe every quarter turn until i reach the top. seems a bit of a crazy long way of doing it, and also a bit messy.

I know the turntable plus has what i’m picturing, like you can zoom in or scroll and it will apply a turntable OVER that animation, if you understand what i’m saying

The 4R6 version here will do what you want:

For what you want to do, you just need to set the Start and Stop points - you can ignore the Mid button. For example, you might zoom in on your character’s feet and press Start, then move to your character’s head and press Stop. That would give you a turntable starting at the feet and moving to the head. Remember to set the Spin Frames, Spin Cycles, and axis in the Movie>Modifiers.

HTH,
