    Hi Guys,

    Just wondering if there is a way to have multiple nulls controlling one camera.

    Thanks.

    Sure, but that depends a lot on what you mean by ‘control.’

    You could parent a null to a null to a camera and gain additional levels of control.

    You could parent a camera to a null and create another null to link to the camera’s point of interest with an expression.

    You could just put a slider on a null to control the focus distance via an expression.

    What you do depends entirely on what kind of control you want… can you be more specific?

    I didn’t really have a specific instance in mind, but your tip regarding the null controlling focus distance is one that I might put to use.

    Thanks.
