Attach Camera to a Geometry

[robertpersons]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to attach a camera to a moving piece of geometry. The idea is to allow the user the ability to attach his view to the geometry as it moves through the environment. The geometries have a couple levels of axis applied, with not only tranx, trany, and tranz, but also rotations ... so taking those transforms and applying them to the camera becomes quite complex (especially with multiple geometries the user can select, each with their own hierarchies of transformations).

It would be great if I could simply put a camera on the same hierarchy level as the geometry, and switch to it as needed.

Can anyone help?

Thank You!

Robert

Hi Robert

Press F1 on the View node and open the InteractiveDemo: CameraSwitch. There are 3 cameras connected to Spheres.

Cheers!

Thanks! Unfortunately, the camera switch demo requires Ventuz Professional, which I do not have. Do you know of any way to do it in the Express Version?

Thank You,

Robert

Sorry there is no way to solve that in the Express version. For learning and evaluation purposes request a Professional Learners Edition Key on our website to get the full professional features.

Cheers!
