Compositing With the MultiPlane Node

Note: The orbit point is also the point about which the Persp (perspective) view rotates
when you rotate this view using the X key.

The outer bounding box represents the frustum, which defines the camera view frame
that produces the output image. The size of the frustum determines, in part, the area of
the 3D workspace that is output as the renderCamera image that’s output by the
MultiPlane node.

Note: Unlike frustum controls found in other 3D animation packages, Shake’s
MultiPlane frustum does not crop the image outside of the frustum boundary. Thanks
to Shake’s Infinite Workspace, this image data is preserved for future downstream
operations in the node tree.

The controls within let you move the camera target. Using the translate (move) x, y, and
z controls moves the camera target—causing the camera to rotate so that it continues
to face the target.
