    Hi everyone …

    I guess I can find an answer somewhere in the forum, but I can´t think of a good search term for the following:

    I have a camera rotating on z-axis. It shows a couple of text lines appearing and fading away. Now I´d like to have the text lines basically slowly pick up the camera rotation value, so that they appear to stop rotating, do some crazy stuff, and then let go of camera rotation value again to go back to normal rotation appearance.
    I hope I made myself clear, cause today is a really bad day … headaches n stuff

    Thanks

    Christian

    It almost sounds like that would be easier to keyframe. But with the script you’d use an If/else, with the condition either being a point in time or a certain degree of the camera. And to get the gradual start and stop, multiply the result by Math.exp.
