  • Mask Data Used As Camera Path?

    Posted by Bernd Garving on July 13, 2005 at 4:54 pm

    Hi there …

    … I’d like to use data of a elliptical mask as data for the path of a camera. I copied the mask’s shape into camera’s position. But what do I have to do to tweak it into the right dimension?

    Thanks in advance.

    I m not exactly sure I understand what you mean, but mask data is 2-dimensional and will end up in the X and Y position values. Z is just left empty (assumed to be zero). If that’s your problem, just switch the values using a simple expression.

    X=position[0];
    Y=position[2];
    Z=position[1];

    [X,Y,Z]
