camera track

Post by PD ent »

I wanna make a camera that follows a invisible track. kinda like a mix between devil may cry's camera and resident evil. when you move the camera moves along the scenary.

I was thinking to have a set of entitys that link to each other that the camera would move along from each other in sucession when reaching the entity it would receive the coordinates of the next entity or a NULL if no more.

Why entitys? why not just 3d vectors?

I did exactly the same feature in my app.
I've just using 2 followspline animators - one for camera and one for target at which camera have to be oriented.
