How to motion paths a camera & aim?
Hi guys,
When I create a camera and aim type camera, maya is not letting me attach the camera to a curve for animation. But I can attach just a camera (not the aim type) to a curve easily. So what I'm I doing worng, or can it even be done in maya? Thanks for your time, Vedic |
Make sure "Follow" is unchecked in the Attach to Curve options. That requires the use of the aim and since that control is occupied, it won't let it.

u need to select camera1_group
(i.e. select the camera, then press the up arrow key to select group heirarchy) then u will be able to do a motion path attatch. |
Thanks guys!
But I want the camera to follow the path and the aim at something else. Right now the aim is on the path, which I can use in another scene. I have an object a curve and a camera, all I want to do to animate the camera along the curve, the aim at the object, and that it. Anymore insight would be great! |
yes, do it the way i described above and u will be able to have the camera follow the curve and still be able to keyframe the position of the aim.
1)select your camera_aim, then press up on arrow key 2)shift selct ur curve 3)and attatch to motion path. since u pressed up on ur arrow key and attatched the camera1_group node to motion path, this leaves heirarchy free to be keyframed. u can always create a regula cam, and attatch it to ur curve, and create a locator, position in the middle of ur object, and do an aim constrain for locator and camera. |
Everything is working, but the aim will not stay put. So I create a locator for the aim, and everything works great.
