      <div class="title_division"> Use Turntable Motion</div>
      <p class="para_division"> Turntable Motion allows you to set the camera to rotate or fly in a circle around a viewpoint. You can also set the vector for the direction of rotation.</p>
      <p class="para_division"> Turntable motions consist of two key frames. Use the first key frame to establish a &quot;look at point&quot; for the turntable, which includes setting up such view factors as the scale and view orientation. In the next key frame set the number of steps you want to follow around the circle (Num Steps field), and then click the Key Frame Options button. You can then turn ON the Use Turntable Motion toggle, and if desired set the vector about which you want to rotate using the Set Turntable Vector option. This is all the data needed to fly a circle about the model.</p>
      <p class="para_division"> Toggle ON the Use Turntable Motion, the key frame is basically &quot;slaved&quot; to the previous key frame. The view and orientation of the turntable frame is always the same as the previous frame (because after 360 degrees of rotation from the previous frame position you are right back where you started from). While you can modify the name of the key frame or its number of steps, any viewing transformation changes you try to apply to a turntable frame are ignored. If the view orientation of the previous key frame is changed, the turntable frame is updated to that position.</p>
      <p class="para_division"> Turntable key frames appear in the Key Frames list box with a &quot;T&quot; in place of the spline blend number. For example:</p>
      <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="3" align="center">
