I don't have any experience with importing Max models into SW3D, but it
would seem to me that it would be easier to tackle this in lingo. since
every 3D member automatically has a default camera, I don't see why you
would need to create on in Max. likewise the sphere, which can be very
simply created as a primitive.
the syntax for setting a camera as a child of a sphere primitive would look
something like:
--< untested email lingo >--
-- store world ID
pMember = sprite(me.spriteNum).member
-- Define a sphere
mySphere = pMember.newModelResource("mySphere", #sphere)
-- Set Sphere Properties
mySphere.radius = 10
mySphere.startAngle = 0
mySphere.endAngle = 360
-- Create the Sphere
pSphere = pMember.newModel("pSphere", mySphere)
-- hide it
pSphere.visibility = #none
-- store camera ID
pCamera = sprite(me.spriteNum).camera
-- set parent
pCamera.parent = pSphere
