Upside down camera

You can make the camera rotate upside down to create a special effect. This is useful in some specific cases.

Step 1

Create a new cinematic using the command:

/cinema studio cinematic new upside_down_example

Step 2

Follow the steps of Simple cinematic tutorial to add two camera nodes.

Step 3

Close the timeline GUI (press ESC) and open the cinematic file using VSCode.

Step 4

Change the cameras mode to B. Change the cameras x rotation to -180.0.

For example:

    '48':
      type: CAMERA
      pos:
        x: -26.87855845933712
        y: 67.99430704468921
        z: 54.46231714534427
      rot:
        x: -180.0
        y: 100.35607147216797
      mode: B

Step 5

Play the cinematic using the command: /cinema play upside_down_example

Done!
