Magnetic objects

Magnetic objects

A newbie question:
Is it possible to move a camera around freely but always keep it pointing at a specified coordinate (such as at the center of another object)?

If objects in general could be magnetically connected in this way it would make animations and model editing so much easier for me (camera orbiting, placement of spotlights, focusing of artificial lenses, ...), or maybe I just haven't quite understood all the features of Cheetah3D yet.

P.S. All the descriptions about the "Post Icons" here on the "Post New Thread" page are in German, not in English as I specified in my account options.
 
Hi Rich,
since Cheetah3D 3.4 (which I released tonight) you can do that. Check out the documentation of the "Target tag" or have a look at the "Spotlight.jas" example scene which comes in the "Examples/Animation" folder of the Cheetah3D 3.4 download.

Bye,
Martin
