I am having some difficulty creating perfect camera paths in Imagine. I spoke to Mike at Impulse, but after trying what he suggested, I must have lost something in his explanation. He assures me that one can create perfectly smooth camera paths…I have thus been been able to create only paths that have been crude in shape, not what I am looking for. I hope the problem is my limited intelligence! Anyways, here is what I am trying to do. I have an object at the center of my stage. I want to create a perfectly circular camera path, so that the camera stays locked on the object on the stage, and travels a complete 360 degree path around the perimeter of the object. Mike told me that by adding axese to the path, I should be able to shape a round path … but I havent been able to do so successfully. Can anyone offer any help? Does anyone have the time to possible email me a path object that is like the one I am looking for, so that I can see what a finished one looks like? So far, the nice smooth path is all I am missing.
