I accidently parented the main camera to the characters hand...how can I undo it?

My idea of rebooting is kicking somebody in the butt twice!

Parent it to Universe. I think.

Bring up the Hierarchy Editor, find the main camera, and drag/drop it at the same level as the other cameras. Make sure that "Show Cameras" is checked at the top of the H.E. BYS

Forget that. Hierarchy Editor won't let you drop it onto the Universe (? - CL, wake up). Make sure that Main Camera is the selected object. Select Object->Change Parent... from the menus and click on Universe, click OK. That'll put it where it should be. BYS

Thanks for the responses, but parenting to the universe didn't work. I'll just try using the auxilary camera to render and be more careful the next time. LOL

What version of Poser are you using? That last method worked for me in both Poser 4 PP and Poser 5. I parented the camera to P4 Boy's Left Hand and it was restored after that. It may end up at the bottom of the hierarchy list. If that didn't work, then something is not right. Camera must be the selected object (the one shown in the Parameter panel). To verify that it has indeed been moved to Universe, open the Hierarchy Editor and check "Show Cameras". It should be at the same level as the other cameras, even if not grouped with them. If not, tell me exactly how you are trying to do it. BYS

You can also try going Edit/Restore/Camera when you have the main camera selected.

Select the camera and press ctrl-e mac

Thanks for the tips. Learn something new everyday...like don't parent the camera to a hand. :-)
