  Moving a camera around a 3D object

  Posted by Ken Latman on August 28, 2008 at 3:17 pm

  I have a camera that is parented to a null object. The null object I am using to control the camera’s x & y positions along with the camera’s x and y rotation. I control the z position from the camera. I know this is simple, but I’m hitting a wall here. How do I maintain that distance between the null and and the camera at a constant?

  Thanks for your help.

  I think you just need to use the Null to control the Camera’s Z position as well.

  You could always throw another Null into the mix. Parent the Camera to Null 2 and then Null 2 to Null 1.

  Use Null 1 to move the camera and Null 2 to rotate?
