First impression. Your animation looks OK.
One remark at first look: You need to set a 3Dbackground. As it is now your clouds are fixed on the air. That is a bit strange.
Drag a 3Dimage as backround image in your camera inspector. By doubleclicking it a dialogwindow opens. There you need to choose 3Dimage so ArtLantis will use it that way.

thanks sjaak.
Is a 3Dimage as special type of image file, and where would i find some..... or is it just a standard jpeg that artlantis is able to convert into a 3d background environment

It is an image that gives a view of the surroundings in 360 degrees. You can make your own 3Dimages by making photographs around one point and then stitch them together with potostitch software. Some of them are free available on the net. Try this one. It is very good: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html
Previous versions of ArtLAntis came with some 3Dimages. They didn't come with R and S. Here are some of those oldies.

ok, i used the 3dimage background option.
It seems that the background clouds are blurry.
Maybe a problem with the background image size/settings?
Any thoughts to correct this.

Hi Peter
You need to have a higher resolution background image as you are only seeing a small area of it in your movie, I suggest at least 3000 pixels wide. The slider on the 3d background positions the image where you would like to start. I've attached a panorama that I've used in the past. If you search in http://www.flickr.com/ for panoramas or 360 views you can find a lot of useful high res backgrounds there. Also you can position your image vertcally in a paint program to suit your view

Very commendable. Your settings and lighting are very good. I would try lifting the camera path to 1.55m above the ground. Have you tried playing with keyframe markers yet? They are quite easy & very powerful. Keep experimenting with the camera tool as you a great model to play with.
Regards,
Chris

With keyframes you can add actions to the camera or lights, sun and objects etc... an example is one of the animations at the top of the screen. you will notice that the camera flies through a hallway then pans up and to the right to look at the first floor balcony. this is done with keyframes. I have included a simple example that I have just completed for a clients website. (this is the first part of four squences. In two weeks, I will post a copy of the full movie).
In the camera path I have added four keyframes to make the camera pause at the four corners. Hope the explanation helps.
