Setting up Time Configuration

- [Voiceover] In chapter 12, we're looking at basic…key frame animations in 3DS Max.…Maybe you want to create an architectural walkthrough,…cause the camera to move through the space,…or maybe just pan to take in different regions…of the space,…and to do that, we will use keyframe animation.…The first step of keyframe animation…is to set up your time configuration perimeters.…What's your frame rate going to be?…How many frames do you want to render and so on?…That's done from a button down here…in the lower right corner of the interface.…

It's got a little clock and a gear.…Time Configuration.…Click on that, and the dialogue opens up.…The first thing to look at is the Frame Rate.…We can actually change the frame rate in 3DS Max…after the animation has been done,…which is pretty incredible because internally,…3DS Max doesn't calculate in frames.…It calculates in something called "ticks",…which are one 4,800th of a second,…so it slices time down into tiny, tiny, little increments…of a second.…

That gives us the ability to, for example,…
