Maya: Camera, Aim and Motion Path

A camera gets confused when it gets two signals at the same time: One to look her,e one to look there. This problem occurs when attaching a camera to a curve (called "motion path") and at the same time making it look at a target (called "aim"). In this tutorial I show you how to animate a camera with an aim and moving it along a motion path. Really cool, and simple - if you know what to do.
I did a tutorial about more basic camera animations which you find here: • Maya: 4 Ways to Animat...
And this is the most straight forward way to achieve a smooth camera-on-a-path-motion: • Maya: Camera Along an Arc
The music, as always, starts with "Computer Animation" and ends with "Dubius 170" - both tracks composed by me for this channel and licensed via GEMA.

  • After quite a lot of googling, this was by far the best explanation of how to solve this problem that I could find. You really hit the salient points, and explained the reasons for things so perfectly. Thanks so much, you've earned both a like and a subscription for this one! :D

    @MonsterBandage@MonsterBandage5 жыл бұрын

    • you mean: putting the camera into that box (empty group) and animate it from the inside? should work, but only with much tweaking (keyframes). keep in mind what comes first: the aim, not the motion. try it out.

  • Ok so, I know the video was made a while ago and you might not see this but I'm confusionnnnn. So basically when I constrain the aim to the sphere, the sphere just always moves for me? Like when the camera moves the sphere just moving everywhere lol. I love your tutorials by the way they have been literal lifesavers!

    • its been 10 months so I think maybe you have found the solution but just incase, I wanted to reply for anyone having this issue as I did as well. You have to select your sphere first then select your camera aim before point constrain

  • But that just applies if you attach a camera to a path and NOT setting the "follow" attribute, doesn't it? I mean, if you don't use the "follow" attribute, the camera should NOT get any rotation data, so the error situation shouldn't happen. In reality, even if you don't use the follow attribute, you still get cycleCheck warnings on the camera. Could you explain why is that happening?

    • hi josé, i published this tutorial a while ago and i don‘t have time to come back to it and look into details. why don‘t you post your question in the autodesk maya AREA?

      @Uhr24@Uhr243 жыл бұрын

    • @@Uhr24 In fact I found the solution myself. Well, it's not a solution really, but a workaround. The cycle warning comes from two different connections to the camera node, from the motionPath in first place, but also from the camera's own pivot translation (which is really weird). Anyway, since those pivot translation connection is doing nothing, it can be erased without issues. The camera behaves as it should and don't throw any more cycle warnings
