I have made my horse climb the mountain. Now I'd like the camera to follow the horse on "right" distance. Is this possible without having to make the whole animation path for camera? I figured maybe just make it "stick" to the horse? Can't find (or don't understand) anything about this in the manual.

Be patient with me, I'll soon be walking on my own legs... ;o)

I'm not being a jerk when I say check the manual, because I don't exactly remember the details, but yea.. There is a way to link the camera to an object. A quick look at the index says page 37 and 143-144 are a good place to start.

Stick..I like the term"point at"...but Vue uses "track". You'll find it in the top right tab. You use this with your lights also to aim at an object. Hint..if you have a grouped object(like you imported a complete scene from Poser)..only the complete group name will show in the drop dowm list.If you want just one thing from that group to be the target of your camera or lights...drag it to a new layer.

Thank you! I have gone through the manual. Usually always start a new program with reading it. Love manuals. But english is not my language. It is ok with the everyday language but when it gets down to special expressions, like in manuals, it tends to get hard sometimes. But one can never stress reading manuals enough! So thanks anyway. :o)
