I'm using TS 6.0, have 6.6 but haven't installed it yet, and I'm working
with a scene file originally created back in 4+ or earlier but modified
and saved in 6.0. Animating scenes has not been my prime usage, until
now.
In the scene I have two cameras glued together ( to produce dual frames
for 3D stereoscopic conversion ) in an animation path that horizontally
circles then moves into an object that is stationary but rotating along
its Y axis. Look-At is set to point the cameras at the object during
the entire path. I want to change the camera path parameters such that
when it gets to the point where it starts moving into the rotating
object, the camera begins to rotate along the Y axis till it aligns
itself, rotationally, with the rotating object. But I can't seem to
change the cameras rotational path parameter. I can enter a value in
the Y axis rotate parameter at that frame but no mater what I do it
returns to the previous un-rotated value. I can set a key frame for it
but I can't change the value. Is this because I'm using the Look-At
function? If so, how do I undo the Look-At at the desired point in the
path. Is there another way to do this or do I have to break the path
into two sections and make the second one without Look-At and with the
rotation in it?
