Hi all,

I’d like to create camera which fallows circle patch. I have 7000 frame long animation of main camera with 300 km/h speed. When I add another camera and set it’s speed to 50 km/h it goes thorough circle path within 2500 frames and stops. I fought that “chainage looping” makes my camera to move within entire animation but somehow it doesn’t. Any suggestions what I am making wrong ??

Chainage looping does not apply to cameras. We have specifically disabled it, because we took the view that users would not want a camera to suddenly jump from one location to another.

It might be worth using the 3ds Max path constraint to achieve what you are trying to do.

Well, maybe it is worth to let users make their own choice whether they wont or not to apply chainage looping to camera. It could also be off by default so that only those who want to enable it will do it.

Mmmm. Maybe. We’ll take your comments into account in the next service pack release of DVSP.  It’s a simple enough thing to change.

Thanks for the feedback.
