    It is the most adequate tut for camera follow path animation. 2 things resolved my issue with this technique thanks to your tutorial: 1. Increasing curve path resolution up to 64 and 2) applying all transform for the camera. Thanks a lot for details!

    I can not figure this out 😢 Mannn i did everthing the camera follows the path perfectly, i insert the keyframes, i move the camera, insert another keyframe with the new position but it just does not follow when i play it back. Please help me out i've been stuck on this for 3 weeks already. great tutorial but it just does not seem to work for me

      You're saying the camera follows the path as it should if you scrub the timeline, but it doesn't if you press play?

    • @WhatMakeArt
      @WhatMakeArt  Місяць тому

      Double check to make sure the keyframes are set and have different values, often when I'm in a hurry, I forget to set the keyframe after moving the object to the new position

    The guy has made a very professional tutorial but Blender does seem to make a lot of hard work of it. Quite often I purchase plugins to make these kind of tasks simpler. Life is too short. But well done to the instructor.

    Great video. How can you make the camera follow the path in the opposite direction?

    • @WhatMakeArt

      To make the camera go in the other direction, reverse the key frame values

    • @scottlentzfilm

      @@WhatMakeArt what about if you’re using the animate path function and not keyframes?

    • @WhatMakeArt
      @WhatMakeArt  3 місяці тому

      To reverse the direction you need to keyframe the valuation time and make it start with negative one and then go to zero instead of from 1 to 0

    When I select the camera and shft+s -> Selection to cursor then my camera jumped very far away from the path. I am using blender 4.0. Any idea?

    • @WhatMakeArt

      Double check that the cursor was at the point on the path where the blue arrow points

    • @evenflair6453
      @evenflair6453 6 місяців тому +23

      @@WhatMakeArt Thanks for the reply. I figured it out later. The problem was my camera object had some location info in it. And when I was adding the camera using shift+s -> Selection to cursor, that location info was being added too. And hence the distance. The solution was to presse alt+G when my camera was selected. It reset all location information. And then the rest worked well.

      @WhatMakeArt  6 місяців тому +3

      Yes, if the camera has non zero location information it will be offset, glad you figured it out and thanks for sharing your solution with everyone
