  • Multiple anchor points for one object?

    Posted by Stephen Turcotte on March 23, 2011 at 4:18 pm

    I have a building model that I’ve attached to a tracking point and the camera passes by at street level. Im wondering if it would be possible to attach this to two points- one at the beginning and end of the building so that it would definately be locked in place.

    At this point it’s attached to one point at the beginning, but as you reach the end of the block, the underlying footage where the building shiuld be slowly becomes visible.

    In a plan view I have scaled the building to span from point to point, so size wouldn’t be an issue.

    Any input would be great!

    Objects only have one axis so they can only be achored to one point. What you could do, however, is use expresso to locate the object between two other objects.

    Thanks Adam. I wasn’t able to open the file. I’m running c4d r11.5 incase you saved as a newer version.
