  • problem in trying to make natural camera motion

    Posted by Cognito on May 16, 2006 at 9:59 am

    hey guys,

    i would like to create some sort of navigation motion upon a 2 dimensional map. basically i want the camera to move from afar to very close, and adjust the angle of the camera to be tilted (maybe 30 degree) to the map and move some distance before another camera is in effect.

    the problem is i cant make the movement natural, there is always a jerk in between.

    could anybody offer a solution for this?

    thanks a lot.

    carpe diem

    Yes there is an easy way. Insert a small solid square at wich the camera will aim. Turn it 3d them make it a parent. So when you move your solid, the camera will follow and always aim a it. Then you move the solid where you want the camera to point. You can rotate the solid to make the camera Tilt. After you modify the distance between the camera and the solid so it “zoom in”. Remember to turn your solid invisible before you render.

    Any question
