Hey, its me... again...

I was wondering how you go about targeting a camera so that it keeps on some chosen geometry in your scene, while flowing down a path around the geom.

Is this possible? Hell, its Maya, i know it is.... so, could you please lead this newb along? :)

thx

Just a guess..

Create > Cameras > Camera and Aim >
Open the Outliner and take the Locator that was created and Parent it to the Geometry.

if you still have a camera, you can create an aim constraint to the object for the camera. in the settings you must specify the aim vector (that's the local axis of the camera which points in the view direction) and the up vector (that's the local axis of the camera which points in the up direction of your world)
