Summary

In this chapter, we learned how the camera works and what it can be used for. We learned how to control some of its basic properties, as well as how to animate it to create dynamic scenes.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to control the render properties to turn our scenes into beautiful final images or videos. This is the final step of a 3D project.
