I made an animation, pretty cool, but I can't do something with the camera. What i'm tryin to do it have an animation of something moving, then have the camera move around the object. Example: A cube spinning. While it is spinning the camera moves from the front view to a back view...then back to front(360degree turn) in a smooth transition. Am I able to do this with Bryce5, or will i need another program?? PLEASE HELP

Try setting your camera to track the object, EX: track the spinning cube then you can move your camera around wherever you want and it will always look at or "track" the cube.

Do atleast one thing a day that scares the hell outta ya!!

Thanks but i already knew about that, unless you can make it so while the object is spinning the camera moves around it, so when i render the animation it looks like there is a floating camera e.g: That dude on the cloud from Mario64/MarioKart how he is always in the air floating around Mario. I want it so it looks good, not just like there is a still camera through the entire animation. I want to make the camera "fly".

Are you asking if there is a way to make the camera visible and have it orbit the cube. You can use paths and parent it to the path to get it to orbit around the cube. To get a visible camera you would have to model one.

Put up a wrong reply... Alright, i tried that, and all it did was show the little pyramid camera go on the path, but the view of the animation was still. EXAMPLE PICTURE: Lets say I wanted to animate this archer. As he would release his arrow, the view would zoom in move around the arrow (360Degrees) as it was flying. And when i render the animation, it would show the camera rotating around the arrow whole it is moving. By the way, i'm a newbie with Bryce5, can't you tell??
