Rendering FreeCAD models in Blender - The Easy Way

[@ronm1314]

Your instruction presentations are always intuitive. Yes I would like to see more Blender videos. All your FreeCAD videos has helped me tremendously as well. Thank you.

Great use of combining open source software. Recently started with 3d printing so discovered blender and freecad. There are a lot of great blender tutorials (donut 😉 ). But there is something in the way you do it I like. So it would be nice if you did a blender animation. 💪 ( lol you have already done one 👍)

I love the combination of the software, in fact I edit all my videos on blender 😁

Make life easy on yourself for camera work. Add an empty (a sort of "non physical" object) to the scene (Add - Empty - Plain axes). It'll add an empty at the origin, so you may want to go and hide your default cube so you can see the empty. Then select your camera first, then shift-select the empty second (selection order is important) so that both are selected and then go to Object - Track - Track To Constraint. This will constrain the camera to the empty so that it always aims at the empty. That way you don't need to fidget with the camera as much when you want to move it. You simply put the empty where you want it aimed, and if you move your camera, it will automatically rotate your camera to keep aiming where you have the empty positioned.

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I have done that before but wanted to keep it simple for this.
