You can now make fine adjustments, i.e. draw
the circle closer or more evenly around your
head.
Next, open the Global settings and select the
Time item. Set the Route slider control to 4 se-
conds and watch the Preview.
Afterwards, open the Global settings menu and
first of all set the top selection button to Line
type path in order to make changes, if necessary,
to the line (e.g. type, width, color).
Now open the Look menu and activate the
starting point (which you can still recognize by
its little flag). Set the top selection button to Key
object and set the Object button to Off. Proceed
in the same way with the finishing point so that
neither of the two points now displays an object
(i.e. flag).
Now open the Global settings menu and set
the top button to Head object. Then activate
the Show head object button so that a little
checkmark appears thus causing the remaining
buttons in this menu to become activated. Next,
click on the Select head object button and select
the Right hand from the 3D objects.
After confirming with Ok, you can make the sys-
tem calculate your scene – and that‘s it!
5. Using the new functions in
Columbus 2
This example exercise will make use of all
the new functions that Columbus 2 provides
compared to Columbus 1.
These include:
• Changing the head object along the route
• Letting the route be drawn in advance
• Performing camera zooms over a high-
resolution map
• Selecting new head objects that are sorted in
groups
Open the Edit menu in SMART EDIT and select

an image output quality as possible for the
scene, set the Quality to Good or Very good. Now
start Columbus 2 by clicking on Start program.
All the program‘s settings should first be reset to
the default settings. To do so, click once on the
Default button and then confirm with Yes.
In the Global settings, select the high-
resolution map of Europe (Columbus 2 or

and confirm your selection with Ok.
