Let me get you a .t3d file, it is simple animation of the camera positions around an object. Have you read the User Guide that Erain has provided? Read that, and everything else will come easy. You’ll be able to do anything once you read that.

you have to make a free camera which you can rotate or animate it pretty simple and very good to use i like animating the camera more than i do animating the objects im using it makes it look really 3D
