  • auto orient flips the z-axis

    Posted by Jakob Thommessen on February 25, 2006 at 1:58 pm

    I am trying to animate a camera over a flat landscape, sort of slalom turns.
    everytime the position path makes a turn (right on the position keyframe) the z- axis flips 180 degreees so suddenly water is sky and the other way around. It does not affect the z-rotation values..

    can anybody explain what is happening?

    Why don’t you turn off auto-orient?

    … or if you need it switched on, you have to animate the point of interest so it always stays ahead of your camera.

    I need the camera angle to follow a spesific path (domn a winding road),
    i have tried to make a null object with the same path and linked the point of interest to it, but the same thing happens…
