Hi all, While trying to Map a camera to multiple objects, to get a easy solution for making the camera follow animated objects and switch the focus I got only a buggy behaviour, when animating the weights of mapped objects.
Here's a solution, if somebody needs it. http://the-final.com/cam-mapping/ The camera target point is pointwise mapped to a sphere. This sphere is mapped to 2 nurbs-curves, which are dropped in the animated car levels (Easy to change the targets then, simply drop the curves in other levels ;-). The "cam-target" sphere has 2 Tags, which are animated. A script in the spheres script-tab is transferring the Tags values to the Pointwise-Weights. Sounds complicated, but direct animation of the weights has stopped the complete animation system :-( It's possible to jump between as many targets as you need, simply add some Tags and some lines to the script. Maybe helpy, too, in other anims where you have to animate lattice mapping weights. BTW: If somebody knows an easier solution: You're welcome :-) Questions? Feel free to ask :-) Matthias
