Ok, I posted this in the original thread from yesterday, but you know how things tend to get burried, so here's the link. I'll have to do some more testing tonight, but I think I figured it out! (and there was much rejoycing:) - amon_g

Hmm... this could be useful. Thanks!

No problem. If you get a chance to test it out before I do (work always seems to get in the way of experiments:), please let me know your results.

I use Poser units. I put a ball where I want the camera to focus and note it's x, y and z coordinates as xb, yb and zb. Then I take the Dolly coords from the camera and let them equal xc, yc and zc. The focal distance is: sqrt((xc-xb)^2+(yc-by)^2+(zc-zb+1)^2). This seems to work well...now if I can just figure out how to get it into a python script!
