I got it :)

I got my copy of A:M in the mail woohooo!

 

Now for my full blown first silly question.

 

I am doing the video tuts and the problem is when I go from front view to side I often lose my model and can't find it. So enlighten the simple one what silly thing am I not doing that makes my model leave from view upon changing view?

 

I have tried the buttons and read the book..so I either missed it or its a big secret! please tell

 

 

Happy animating

Congrats on your delivery of A:M!

 

One of the most useful key combinations I've found is SHIFT Z (Zoom to Fit).

It might not always zoom in as much as you'd like in the Chor but in a modeling window it'll work well for you.

 

In the Chor I often hold the Z key down while dragging a box around the area I want to zoom in on.

That'll work in the Modeling Window as well.

 

So as a suggestion you might experiment with the following:

- Change to your desired view

- SHIFT Z (To zoom in)

- Hold Z down and drag a box around the part of the model/chor you want to view (as necessary)
