make one object animation available in only 1 camera

[chow choppe]

Hi

 

i am working on 2 cameras animation of the same are.

in one camera i want the door to be animated but in the other camera angle i dont want that door to animate. Also i dont want to use separate save as scenes for 2 cameras.

 

is there any way to do it in the same scene?

 

can i turn off objects animation for a specific camera

 

thanks

Why don't you have 2 doors and change their visibility to match the camera animation. So for the frames you want the door closed the animated door is not visible and the closed door is. And visa versa for the 2nd camera shot

render the doors separately and comp them in?

much easier

[JonRashid]

Disagree. If you group your door you can turn visibility on and off at an object property level. One render no comping how could it be easier than that lol.

Use the timeline in your advantage. Let's say that your first path has 300 frames and the second 250. Have the first path rendering from frame 0 to 299, then make the second path start from 300 to 249. And as said before you have 2 groups for the doors that you can play with. You can either do the visibility thing but that sometimes creates problems when rendering with vray or just animate the position of the groups. Have one moved on the Z axis outside of the field of view while the other is in the proper location and switch for the other path.

hi

 

figured it out. It was very easy

similar to what anton said but i did with a single door.

i made animations from say 1-200(first shot ) and 210 to 400(second shot)

in first shot door opens and stay opened till frame 200

and at 205 or i use set key to close the door again and

Voila!

 

thanks for the info guys
