  • Lock a flying sheet of paper in place

    Hello,

    I am completely new to Cinema 4D. I need a little sheet of paper which is flying in the wind. So far so good i have a plane with cloth modifier and it is flying and looks very good. The only problem is, that the paper is flying away and i want to capture it with a camera in place… Is there a possibility to lock that paper in place? Or how can I achiev it that the paper is constantly in the view of the camera? I tried moving the camera with keyframes, target camera, dresser fixpoint… But nothing that looks good.

    Thank you for helping.

    perhaps you could use Mograph Tracer to generate a spline for the camera to follow (with some preroll to get it going) or at least give you a reference spline when working out the camera placement

    I used the fixpoint and moved it later in Aftereffects so it looks more realistic.
    Thank you anyway 🙂
