  Animating 3D Camera

  Posted by Bradyv on August 16, 2007 at 3:26 pm

  Hi- I am trying to animate a 3D camera that follows along with a a light streak I created. I add the keyframes and animate it just fine. Once I animate it and it is a couple of seconds into the animation, and I go back to the beginning, all of the positions I keyframed the camera at in the beginning are moved. Any ideas?

  Thanks a lot,

  Brady

  How are you animating the camera? Are you using the Camera Orbit/Track tool, parenting to a null and moving that, parenting to something else, or keyframing by hand? Regardless, make sure that you are keyframing both the Position as well as the Point of Interest. It also may be a spatial interpolation issue, try selecting all the keyframes by clicking Position and then right click one of them and set Spatial interpolation to linear. May not be what you want but could be what you expect. Let us know how you’re doing it if this doesn’t help!

  Thanks so much. I am used to Maya, I didn’t know you actually had to animate the point of interest also. Thanks much.
