alias_marks Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hi there cgarchitecters, I'm working on some more complex camera moves and was wondering if anyone has gone through setting up a nice camera rig in max before? How do you guys set up your camera rigs? I'm a bit at a loss outside of the 'follow a spline' and 'hand keyframe camera and target methods'. Below is something similar a friend of mine set up in Maya. Something with translation Yaw, Pitch, Zoom, and tilt would be great. Have any ideas? Kinda banging my head here and sick of tweaking curves in the track editor to get things smooth. Much appreciated!

alias_marks Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Very cool, thanks for sharring. This process has taught me a lot about real world camera set ups, which has been kinda fun. I ended up using something similar to nils's camera rig. Found it very nice and saved tons of time at the end of the day, so thanks for sharing guys. Really appreciate it. Looking forward to sharing the final product when it's out there for the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
