  Mask Data Used As Camera Path?

  Posted by Bernd Garving on July 13, 2005 at 4:54 pm

  Hi there …

  … I’d like to use data of a elliptical mask as data for the path of a camera. I copied the mask’s shape into camera’s position. But what do I have to do to tweak it into the right dimension?

  Thanks in advance.

  I m not exactly sure I understand what you mean, but mask data is 2-dimensional and will end up in the X and Y position values. Z is just left empty (assumed to be zero). If that’s your problem, just switch the values using a simple expression.

  X=position[0];
  Y=position[2];
  Z=position[1];

  [X,Y,Z]
