Simon Edmondson Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 In the project I'm working on, I want to set up a follow spot for the figure as it leaps about. I tried to set up an aim at constraint on the spotlight body but it didn't seem to follow the target, even though that was selected under properties. Could someone kindly explain how to achieve this? Working in the latest iteration on an I mac. Thank you in advance. simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Forwood Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Create two nulls and make them children of your character's model bone. Name one "tripod" and the other"target". Constrain the camera to translate to the tripod and to aim at the target. Position the nulls to frame the subject as you wish. Be sure that the "Aim at" constraint is below the "Translate to" constraint in the heirarchy. Tap the spacebar to update the screen and test by. Ask for more help if you have any problems.

Simon Edmondson Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 You will need to constrain the camera to translate to a bone in your character and you will probably want to constrain a null to a bone in your character too which your camera can be constrained to aim at. Paul Thank you very much. I shall try that straight away. cheers simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
