    camera tracking is the most difficult part of 3d animation crying

    i think i'm okay naos with establishing shots. in my head i think i'm good, and then actually doing it are different things.

    but following character action. ohhh emmm geee.

    Mistara, not sure if this is what you want, and you probabaly already know this, well, but anyway you can apply a 'Point At' Modifier to the Camera 

    ...and obviously you can Point At a character or vehicle or whatever, but if that doesn't quite met what you want, a Target Helper can be very useful in that situation, just Point At the Target Helper and then move that to where you want the attention to be.

    Hey... that's what I was gonna suggest.

    Thing is you could have the camera point at the Target Helper and just move it and camera would follow it.

    I wonder and will have to try to change from spline to linear and back... Can those be changed or do they apply to entire anim?

    They can be set for each transition, so from the first to the second key you could have linear, then use bezier between keys 2 and 3, etc.

    Kewl...  works like I hoped it would.   BTW:  Still need to set aside some time to watch your latest animation tutorial.

    Thanks!smiley

    been trying to think of city/village scenes in movies i've seen.

    1 comes to mind, A Knight's Tale, when he spots m'lady in the crowd and he's following on his horsie

    not really a crowd scene, more like busy pedestrians

    ncis when gibbs is walking with his coffee and they following him around the orange-ness

    my gamecapturedoodadd came smiley can't do anything til after ISO audit is over, it's effort to stay awake for filing paperwork.
    didn't even play witcher3 last night.

    had a dream about camera dollies. 

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    and i dunnooo why come on feel the noize, girlz rock your boyz

    sometimes when i move a primitive, it only moves the hotpoint.  

    when you want to scale in all 3 axis with the handle bars, what key you hold?

    i think, one of the keyb keys releases the hotpoint?

    can't remembe  woes

  • DiomedeDiomede Posts: 15,165

    Caps lock allows to move the hot point - just remember to to turn it off

    NLA clips don't reference the unit of measure setting?

    never thought to pay attention to the unit of measure. cm or pixels or inches, nla clips should work the same ??

    was just thinking to pay more attention to the additional notes option, dragging stuff to the tray.

    is there a strategy for using irradiance map in animation?

     

    read somewhere to remove texture maps before creating irradiance map

    did they mean just the room?  should i hide the figures in the room first?

    is there such a thing as a generic irradiance map?  
    it gices option to save map and load one 

  • PhilWPhilW Posts: 5,145

    In reality, if you have moving objects then the irradiance will change as they will reflect and scatter light differently as they move. But you could try hiding the figures, render an irradiance map (I don't think you should remove the texture maps though, they would be integral to the scattered light).and try that for the animation - it will save time but not be 100% accurate, it may however be close enough to not matter too much. It is going to be scene dependent whether this will give good results or something slightly strange.

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    ty smiley

    irradiance mysterious, needs some case study.

     

    is it my imagination, bulb light seems better results than distant light.

    Fenric's Pose and Shading Tools 2 will even let you stack teeners! I still haven't tried it... why? Not sure. Scared maybe?

    • Stack Tweener Ever wish you could oscillate along the bezier spline? This will let you! Stack up to six different sub-tweeners with configurable percentage weight for blending. Need more than six? Just stack in another stack!
