>Ok now I made a complex camera movement with 2 paths for the camera and David, looks like you are really diving into this! I am assuming you are having the camera follow a path and align to the Track object which is following another path, right? If this is the case then the camera wouldn't bank so the last position of the camera would be level to the ground. The camera will only `Auto Bank' if you aligned to the path otherwise it will stay level to the ground. If the camera is Aligned to an object then you can alter the final rotation of the camera in the Action Alignment bar by entering the `Final Y rotation'. If you don't know what to enter, you can go into the Stage editor, last frame, and rotate the camera (local Y) until it looks right. Select Transformations (Right Amiga T) and select Alignment, the Y value is what you will enter in the Action Editors `Final Y Rotation'. I hope I didn't confuse you even more. Have you thought to buy the book, "Understanding Imagine 2.0"? I bought this book after having used Imagine for quite a while and still found it very useful. <<< Tony D. Tracer >>>
