Circle Around Buildings with Drone Mode

Entering Drone Mode

Drone Mode lets you orbit smoothly around structures for cinematic reveals. Access this mode through the main settings (press G) or camera path menu. Once active, you control your camera like a flying drone with realistic inertia and momentum.

Setting Orbit Pins

Position your camera at the point you want to orbit around, then press X to drop an orbit pin. This marks the center point of your circular flight path. The camera will smoothly circle around this pin while maintaining altitude.

Controlling Your Flight

Use standard movement controls to fly your drone. The inertia system means your camera won't stop instantly—it drifts realistically, perfect for smooth, professional-looking orbits. Adjust your altitude to frame the building at the best angle.

Recording Your Orbit

Once you've positioned your orbit pin and framed your shot, press R to start recording video. Fly your drone in a smooth circle around the pin. The mod captures the entire orbital movement. Press X again to clear the orbit pin when finished, or drop a new pin to orbit a different location.
