There is a tutorial for first steps in animations. I don't have it at hands now but look around and you will fall over it.

I see the camera path in the little central window in "Shaders".

The interpolation routine for the camera position settings is not really what I was looking for. My first attempt was to use some fix positions for a circular flight and let TG2 calculate the other positions but it turned out not to be a real circle in the end. Therefore now I calculate all camera points in Excel, write them into a text file and import this text file via "Import animation file". See the attachments for a circular flight around the coordinate origin. I use a very wide angle camera (25mm focal length) and have directed the camera 15° below the horizon and 20° inside the circle to see less sky and more landscape.

Does this help you? I hope...

Kind regards,
Martin
