  • Camera rotation and anchor point

    Posted by David Lee on June 2, 2005 at 12:50 pm

    In a nutshell, i’m trying to rotate the camera on its bottom corner point, as if to simulate a camera falling to the bottom of the sea, and hitting the sand left side before right side. However, i can’t seem to change to anchor point of the camera so it rotates as required. And it seems my cunning plan to attach it to a null with adjusted anchor point failed to turn it like i wanted also. Surely im missing something. Its getting late in nz and my mind isn’t what it was 8 hours ago. Hmmm…anyone care to help out my sleepy brain?

    Createing a null, moving it so that its anchor point lines up with where you want the camera to rotate, making it the parent of the camera, and rotating the null should do exactly what you want.

    Does that not work for you?
