Now the Camera follows the path of the spiral however, if we start the animation by pressing the SPACEBAR, we notice that the Camera does not look at the monkey's head. To make the Camera travel the path of the spiral, first select the Camera, then the spiral and press CTRL+P, choosing the 'Follow Path' option Now let's move the Camera to the 3D cursor: press the TAB key and go back to Object Mode, select the Camera, press SHIFT+S but this time select the 'Selection to Cursor' option We move the 3D Cursor on it, pressing the SHIFT+S keys and choosing the option 'Cursor to Selected' The Camera must start from the lowest point of the spiral, so let's position it on it with the help of the 3D cursor first move the 3D cursor to this point: select the spiral curve, press the TAB key to return to 'Edit Mode' and select the first point of the spiral by clicking it with the left button, Press the TAB key to switch to Object Mode, press the G and then Z keys, write -3.403 and press the ENTER key to move the selected spiral down. Z: -90°, let's start the spiral in front of 'Suzanne' and let it end in front of it

'Height': 6.6, the spiral must develop along a much greater height of the object, in order to see its upper and lower part clearly 'Radius': 5.1, it must be wide enough to be able to see the object from a certain distance, but we have chosen the radius also small enough to be able to see the details 'Steps': 200, we choose a number of segments large enough to create the smoothest possible curve 'Turn': 1, we make a single turn of the Camera around the object In Edit > Preferences, in the 'Add-ons' tab we activate the add-on 'Add Curve: Extra Objects'Īlways with the SHIFT+A keys we add the spiral curve with 'Curve > Curve Spirals > Archemedian' (the spiral of Archimedes) We create a new project, delete the present cube (by selecting it with the left mouse button and pressing the 'X' key), and create the Suzanne object in its place, by pressing the SHIFT+A keys (or starting from the 'Add' submenu ) and choosing 'Mesh > Monkey'. Spiral path of a Camera along a spiral-shaped curve:

We provide two solutions to simulate a spiral behavior: the first using a real spiral, also examining the problematic case of a tall and narrow object, the second trying to use only an Empty object to move the Camera. Usually to present a product or an artifact it may be enough to turn the Camera around the object following a circular orbit, but at times it may also be necessary to show its upper and lower part moreover, a well-made spiral path can give the illusion that the object is bigger and more majestic, adding 'epicness' to the animation.

I did some Backtrace (attached) with the following Build:īF_FFMPEG_LIB = 'avformat avcodec avutil xvidcore ogg faac faad x264 mp3lame vorbis theora vorbisenc swscale avdevice'In this tutorial in english for Blender (made in Blender 2.93) we explain how to orbit a Camera around an object following a spiral path, what problems can arise and the possible solutions.

There is no filling of the RAM (stays around 300 MiB) or something similar, Blender just closes. The pattern when it crashes seems totally random. To make sure it's no problem with that frame, I started the process again, starting at frame 1425, and this time Blender rendered until frame 1972 (and so on, sometimes only a few frames, sometimes a few hundred). The first time I tried, it crashed at frame 1426. Then I set animation start to 1 and end to 5067 (duration of the movie) and hit 'animation'.īlender renders some Frames (PNGs) and at some random frame-number, it crashes. I used the Compositor to process some video file (Full-HD), meaning I loaded it into the node editor, added some nodes and finally some composite-output-node.
