Target and Bake rookie question
thanks in advance for any help! got a golf ball (in a cloner) rolling down a ramp (tilted plane) using mograph rigid body tags. so, a couple of questions. how can i use that ball as a camera target since the target tag doesn’t know the ball is rolling? do i just need to fake it with a null? so i like how everything is working, can i bake(?) that animation so it doesn’t have to recalculate? or should i be using the solver and the rigid body dynamic tag under dynamic tags as opposed to mograph? sorry, i’m such a rook…i do appreciate everyone’s time !

You’ll need a little Xpresso to track the sphere:
* create a null and drag it into Xpresso editor;
* create a Coords>Global Position in port for the null;
* drag cloner into Xpresso editor;
* create an Object out port for the cloner node;
* create a mograph>data node and connect the cloner’s object port to the data node’s object port;
* connect the data node’s position port to the null’s global position port;
* drag the null into the camera target’s reference box.You can cache mograph dynamics with the mograph cache tag. The regular dynamics objects/tags have no connection to modynamics.
