  cc 2015: clarify orbit camera tool function

  Posted by Ling Talfi on December 4, 2015 at 7:48 am

  Hi, in a lot of tutorials on the net, it seems that the orbit camera tool orbits around the point of focus of the camera.

  However, in cc 2015 (at least my version), I noticed that the orbit camera tool just rotates the camera from its own center, which is a totally different behaviour.

  Is rotating (instead of orbiting around) the default behaviour in cc 2015?

  I learned that we can orbit the camera around an object using the null object trick, but is there a built-in way to do so, like a configuration option that I missed ?

  Actually I find what my problem was.

  My problem was that I used a one node camera.

  The camera has to be a two nodes camera, which brings up a point of interest around which the camera can rotate with the orbit camera tool.
