vrdTurntable

class vrdTurntable

(Inherits vrdSceneObject)

This class provides control over the turntable of a camera.

Here is an example that plays a camera turntable animation for the active camera starting from its current view:

cam = vrCameraService.getActiveCamera()
turntable = cam.getTurntable()
turntable.setAnimationDuration(15)
turntable.setLoop(True)
turntable.updateFromView()
turntable.setPlaying(True)
