Today I made a test animation between some prims! The camera was going left and right etc!
After I set up the animation and all was working fine I wanted to try to use the “Created Path” from
the Objects menu on top of window! I get my camera linked to it and then I also pulled and drag the
path up and litle left and right so it looks like a roller coaster! I did not twist or change camera position
of I know!

The result then running the animation was that after first key position I had it begin to move backwards!
I wanted the camera to continue as before facing forward all the time and not going backwards!
Did I do something by mistake that I don’t know and how can I avoid this to happen?

Thanks for advice!

Paths doesn’t work correctly. I’m afraid it hasn’t worked correctly for 5 years and 2 revisions.

When you create a trajectory, keep it as a trajectory. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I’m afraid you’ll have to redo the trajectory.

I see! I wanted to try this to see if it was going to help me turn the cameras smooth in turns!
I am new to this with animation in Bryce! I don’t know how to make a smooth turn to the left or
right after a straight movement with the camera! I thought the “Created path” should help to make
the turn easier!

Ah… Well, what you’re describing there is something I call Fly-Bounce.

Click on the link under my signature image and take a look at the video “Removing Fly Bounce”, see if that helps.

Thanks a lot!

You realy make my day good!
I liked your tutorial cause it was very easy to follow and
also some fun! It will be big diferent
with creating the videos now!

Thanks again!

Hey, thanks, and you’re welcome

Doing another tutorial for a ‘best practice’ guide that eliminates Fly-bounce completely has long been on the cards, but I’ve had major employment priorities jump in the way I’m afraid. But perhaps I can continue Around Christmas
