  • Why has my Camera gone crazy??

    Posted by Norman Greenwood on April 24, 2009 at 7:21 pm

    I was making a 3D room by using motion tile and duplicating the hallways.

    I have two cameras setup. One camera for what I will actual see after I render. And the other to help see where to adjoin the hallways together. It serves no other purpose, and does not have any key frames for any of its parameters.

    I first noticed my main camera was not accurately portraying the movement I wanted.

    I would send it forward then turn it left to look at a wall [for example]. When I would watch the camera follow it’s path, it would add a little stop where it would move backwards, then go forward again. At first I dismissed this as not having checked the box in Preferences>General for Spatial Interpolation to Linear.

    But when I decided to call it quits for the time being, I realized that my last path for the camera had it move forward and performed the same action of stopping, pulling back, then going forward again.

    I am wondering why my camera path does this? I can see the path doing this, but I do not understand why since I did not have it move that way originally. Is it the Spatial Interpolation?

    Thanks for the help.

    it sounds like the keyframe interpolation. rightclick on each keframe and try changing them to linear. just changing the preferences will not change existing keys.

    Instead of using your camera to see things, use another 3D view to do the same thing.
