Camera Animation, simple question

Offline DavidG over 13 years ago

I'm trying to set up a simple flythrough. I have a "Animation camera" following a path and linked to fixed target point. The closer I get to the target the more distorted my perspetive becomes. Like its widening my camera lens angle the closer I get to the target. As I back away from the target the it gets better again. What am I doing wrong. Thanks, DavidG

David,

The animation camera automatically sets the focal distance based on the distance to the target. In order to override this script the camera angle to a fixed value and this will be maintained regardless of the distance to the target.

Paul, Thanks for the tip. I may try that if I ever attempt another animation in MicroStation. I had some time constrains and had to fall back to using FlyThrough Producer while less flexible it didn't seem to distort my camera. It was also able to process a complete sequence of images without hanging the system. Regards, DavidG
