  • cc 2015: clarify orbit camera tool function

    Posted by Ling Talfi on December 4, 2015 at 7:48 am

    Hi, in a lot of tutorials on the net, it seems that the orbit camera tool orbits around the point of focus of the camera.

    However, in cc 2015 (at least my version), I noticed that the orbit camera tool just rotates the camera from its own center, which is a totally different behaviour.

    Is rotating (instead of orbiting around) the default behaviour in cc 2015?

    I learned that we can orbit the camera around an object using the null object trick, but is there a built-in way to do so, like a configuration option that I missed ?

    Actually I find what my problem was.

    My problem was that I used a one node camera.

    The camera has to be a two nodes camera, which brings up a point of interest around which the camera can rotate with the orbit camera tool.
