attach 'cameras + aim' to motion path ?!

[svenip]

just take a two node cam, and instead of aiming you just parent the point of interest to the object you want, and then put the cam node (not the group only the cam node) to the path.

voila

svenip, glad to see you back in here ... i thought you were already off and gone for ever ! :bounce:

what do you mean by 'parenting the point of interest' ?!
do you refer to the 'aim'-node ?

this is exactly what i tried :

1. parent camera1_aim to object
2. select camera1 (cam only!)
3. select cv curve
4. attach to motion path

this is what i still get :

Error: camera1.rotateX already has an input connection.

:shrug:

[svenip]

ahhh sorry :)

just group the cam node and hook this up to the path

hmmm ... now the camera's been attached correctly, but it doesn't move one single frame ! am i too dumb !? :shrug:

[svenip]

just one mom, i make a file

[lowkey]

yes, i am too dumb ! :wip:

the range i was trying to animate the camera through was much too short to see it move correctly, sorry about bothering you !

:)

[svenip]

so i'm glad it works now :)

p.s. i'm tryin to get a little bit more involved again, but we also have so much work to do right now :(. but let's see.

i'm tryin to get a little bit more involved again, but we also have so much work to do right now.

CGTalk's influence on work is definitely a major problem !

i wouldn't get anything done, if i didn't force myself to resist visiting this site every now and then. but it's pretty hard.

nice to hear about you getting involved again !

well, concerning that camera-problem :

it still doesn't work ... i'm just posting too fast ! ;)
now, it switches from the beginning of the path right to it's end ... no inbetweens are created ! would you mind, sending that file ?

thanks a lot
