Re: Is there a way to have Physics affect lights and cameras? 2004-01-25 - By Andrew Turner

Hi -
OK, downloaded those files... yes! Tracking works. However, I saw nothing
grouped there- neither the camera nor light were grouped with the sphere...
However, once I set the light (or camera) to track the sphere, THEN grouped
it, it worked - for ONE group.
When I tried to copy/paste or duplicate the group, I got weird results -
each, I think, because the light (which I used) only tracked the ORIGINAL
object named in the tracking dialogue, not its duplicate.
I will set up a scene with 12 distinct objects to track and try it that way,
and it WILL look cool but it will take a lot longer than if the light and
the object it tracked automatically renamed themselves appropriately...
Better still would be if I could just group the darn things without setting
tracking...
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I just successfully completed doing a Light following a Sphere with PE
and a Camera following a Sphere with PE (actually, they look kinda
cool). Both the light and camera were *grouped* with the sphere. If
I am understanding you correctly, yes, this should be doable [because
I just did it ;)]. But there may be another problem that you are
running into. Have you checked out the Physics Engine Tip sheet that
is posted on the Group file site? Perhaps there may be an answer
there, such as your graphic performance setting may be set too high.
I found that lowering it just one notch corrected a myriad of problems
with my CS3 [and AMAPI] program crashing.
You can check the PE tip sheet out at:

In the meantime, I am in the midst of uploading the actual CAR files
to my site. If you want, check back later to download them and then
let me know how things go.
