Record Movie -> Rotate camera by 360 degrees

Tool(s): Record Movie

Using Rotate camera by 360 degrees, you rotate a stationary camera by 360 degrees in the current viewport.

The program takes the X, Y and Z coordinates of the eye point, the distance between the eye point and the target point as well as the Z coordinate of the target point from the view set in the current viewport. These values do not change while the camera rotates.
