Did I say link? I meant track! oops!

Very nice clip! Is that your model? wow is all I can say! Thats much better than what I've done so far, but may I suggest a little more bounce in the main body and dont link the cam to the mech, but rather an invisible object with a different and slightly random path (gives a handheld cam apearance) very cool overall! If I had a place to upload this avi I would. thx again.

I would love to see it, thanks. I've done missile and meteor trails before, even a large explosion with little smoke trails following the debree, but never a realistic gunflash. More than the answers of "how to", I am looking for someone to share the load with, both creatively and rendering. thanks for your reply and i hope to see the clip, I'm gonna post some pics of the giant spider and vehicles trying to stop it tonight in my gallery.

Simple, yet brilliant!! texture is perfect! You are a true Brycer (one who is limited not by an application, but by your own imagination) I look forward to seeing future works.

pretty damn cool, definitely original, i might raise the jets a little so he dont burn his butt off when they're active, love the glasses.

Great Work, the detail in this is first rate! Keep going til your computer seizes up or the Agents from the movie "Matrix" call you. You and Moebius can have a contest for building the bigger more complex city! lol!

Well, its definetly not the key frames theory, due to the fact that if you rotate the path on Y axis, the problem moves in relation to the path (or stays parallel to world Z. And this preset path was only an easy way for me to show what was happening, I am using a motion path that has been changed to a geometric path because i need more than one object on this path. But I appreciate your help just the same.

I should add that the path needs to be geometric for my purposes. More than one object will be using this path.
