Hello,

I’m trying to animate the camera - I’m trying to move it along a path, and I’m having trouble.

When I select the path, it tells me “Interface not supported”.

I got help from several places. The help menus say this:

1. Draw a curve in your scene using the Create > Curve command on the Model or Animate toolbar.
2. Select the camera’s interest or click the camera icon on a viewport menu bar and choose Select Interest.
3. From the Animate toolbar, choose Create > Path > Set Path. When prompted to select a path, click the curve you created.
4. Set the options you want in the Set Path dialog box.


For step 2 I’m selecting the camera instead of the camera interest.

I also got some help from Softimage’s technical support. They said:

[COLOR=white]First draw the path[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]Then select camera and “constrain > curve path”[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]And animate the path &#xag;e.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white][FONT=Verdana]But no matter what method I use, I still get that error message. I even tried a whole variety of different curve types (cubic by CVs, cubic by bezier-knot points, cubic by knot points, linear, sketch), but none of them work.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=white][FONT=Verdana]Can anyone help me?[/FONT][/COLOR]
