Using a free camera

…One of the main advantages of using a…target camera is that the horizon line will…always remain level, as long as the camera and its target are more or less level.…So we can see that better, let's make the…grid larger in the perspective view, and the camera view.…Right click on any one of the snaps icons to go to the home…grid, and I'm going to set the perspective view grid extent to 500 press enter.…That will extend the grid out farther.…Additionally, you can make the horizon line visible in a camera view.…Just select the camera, go into the modify panel,…and you'll see show horizon, and that's really helpful.…

If you move that camera of it's target around, the horizon…line will always stay level, it's hard wired to do that.…However, the downside of that is that if you need to make the camera look straight…up or straight down, the behavior of a target camera's going to be a bit weird.…We can see that here in the perspective view.…If I move that camera so that it's looking straight down, it's starting…to swivel around, and do strange things…
