3rd person view - cam node

by Krane · in Artist Corner · 03/05/2007 (12:53 pm) · 6 replies

I'm trying to have a little more distance between the 3rd-person-view and my character. I re-positioned the cam node and re-exported the model.

When I'm running, the distance is fine, but when I stop, the view goes back to it's previous state, closer to the character...

Is there any code I must alter in order to have these 2 points the same?

Thanks.

Sounds like your start, and end position of the node is different in your run cycle.

I'm using the in-game Orc's animation...

Hm, so the nodes position is embedd into the animation?

Thanks for your answer.

It is in the default animations, and it shouldn't be. Moving the cam around on your own models/animations will work fine. Moving it in your model with default animations, and the animations will end up taking control of its position.

Thanks for your response, Eric. It's a bummer...
