Snapping when rotating in 3D view

Post by Guitar Quackery »

Hello,

I've been trying to find a setting that would turn off the "snapping" when I rotate a could in the 3D view.

I hope I am using the correct terminology. So, when I rotate a cloud, using my mouse, if I pass close by the position where it was before I started the rotation, the could will snap into that start position. That's perfectly fine if I am just analyzing the object for myself, but I am also trying to make videos for YouTube.

As a result of this snapping, I don't have a smooth rotation of the 3D object.

Is there a way to turn off this snapping feature?

Or use the 'Animation' plugin instead? Note that you can also the 'Camera' settings view to finely set the camera position.
