Although you can’t make it automatically pop up when you switch to that layer – you can save custom colors to your Swatches tab.

First, make sure the Swatches tab is open (under Window)

Set the custom color you want as the foreground color

Float the cursor over the blank bottom area in the Swatches tab area

When you get the paintbucket, click, give your color a meaningful name and click OK

You can even save and load whole swatch setups – which is great when you’re working on a client website with a very specific color palate.

There are two free ones they could try:

Anim8or which is a free program that includes modeling, textures, rigging and bones, lighting, animation & cameras. It’s a great way to learn the basics. It includes documentation too.

or

Gmax; which is a free program from Autodesk which is basically a free version of 3D Max. The only limitation is that you can only use it to make models for games. The good news is – if you master Gmax, who will have a great understanding of 3D Max.

Just for the record-
I never said that you COULDN’T use zooms, I said:

“Most of the great film conventions are based simply on organic human experience… …A dolly move always feels more organic than a zoom move because, after all, our eyeballs don
