I don't really know where to post. But how can I make pictures ? I only can make pictures from my back. As soon as I want to turn the camera I'm turning with it. I want to make pictures from my front.

Thank you

If you do not have your Camera Controls on screen, go to View -> Camera Controls.

You will now be able to move around yourself.

Camera control is good. There are also short cuts. For example, hold down the alt/cmd key, then hold down the mouse button and slowly move the mouse. This moves the camera around without moving your av.

Another useful is to hold down alt while using arrow keys, or ctl-alt and arrow keys.

The next thing to try, is moving the camera to places where it can see other people, and they cannot see you. 8-) 8-) Take pictures. Blackmail them 8-) 8-)

you can also let go of alt once the camera has begun to move and it'll keep rotating / zooming so long as you have the mouse button held down, the other trick is to hold CTRL which will allow you to move the camera up and down in an arc around the object instead of zooming in/out from it.
