Learning about cameras


In our second lecture we looked into animating cameras. How to create paths for cameras and other objects to follow in animation. From the modifier panel to the right there is a Object Shapes section which has the tool lines in it. Click and drag or click and move the tool around your environment to create a path on the X/Y plane, then right click to finish the path. This then can be linked to an object or camera by a Path constraint under the Animation drop down bar. The path acts like a time-line and you can add or take away frames to make the time an object travels on the path faster or slower. Here is a picture of my cityscape with a path linked to the target on my target camera.
