Automated camera moves
Hi,
I posted a little while back on this and got some assistance, but I’ve come to look at it again and it needs a little tweaking(thanks for the help btw!).What i’m trying to acheive is a project into which a number of images can be placed in 3d space. Then a camera will automate it’s moves etween them, so that the end effect is a wall of images, placed anywhere, with a camera smoothly moving to each one, pausing, and moving on. Now, that has pretty much been achieved, you can throw in images, and the camera moves between them ok.
What I’m trying to get working now is getting the camera to move on a beziered path. This is possible if you convert expression to keyframes, delete all but the relevant keyframes and apply auto bezier spatial interpolation to them, however, thsi kind of defeats the object of the project. I’m trying to make as much of it automated as possible.
So what I need is some code to implement bezier formulas to the camera position.
If anyone’s interested in this let me know and i’ll send you a copy of the project and any of the notes i’ve made.Sorry for the long post (again).
Cheers

Since calculating Beziers requires calculations of lots of loops for the intermediate nodes/ steps and the tangents (you need to at least iterate 3×3 times inbetween any given two keyframes), it would be terribly slow and prone to problems. Your best bet is to find/create a script that automates your existing procedures and converts the keyframes for you with just one mouse click instead of several, but beyond that I wouldn’t keep my hopes up.
