Vue - Setting a Camera to track an object

  • The Aim is to show how Vue to make a Vue camera always point at the same object.
  • You should have done this tute first to familiarise yourself with the interface (800KB html page)
  • Step 1
  • Lets open up Vue and create a new scene.
  • Toggle to Four panel view (F7)
  • Create a new Object in this case I have created a sphere primtive.
  • (1) Select the Camera
  • (2) In the objects attributes panel open up the animation palette.
  • (3) Notice the camera is not tracking anything.

  • Step 2
  • (1 & 2) In the drop down tracking menu, signified the target symbol, in the atributtes palette, select the object you want to track (make the camera alway point at it.)
  • If you dont want the camera to track anything just select no track from the drop down menu.
  • Now if we move the camere are the sphere or the camera will always point at the sphere.
  • The same principal also applies to lights.
  • If there any questions on this tute, please ask.
  • Thank yYou.
