  • Camera targeting a floating cloth

    Posted by Neal Barenblat on May 25, 2010 at 10:27 pm

    I have a plane that I made into a cloth, and using positive gravity and positive wind in the y-direction, I have it start from the ground, and then float upwards. The problem is that when I try to use the camera target tag. the cloth doesn’t actually “move” (I realized this when the axis handles stay still). What would I need to do in XPresso to get the cam to lock onto it?

    Use a point node to lock a null to a point on the cloth object and then target the camera to the null instead of the cloth object.

    Worked like a charm. Thanks Adam!
