Thanks for the advice!
I knew there had been something like that star field scene in the tutorial
directory but apearantly Lightwave for SGI doesn't include all those
tutorial scene files (although some of the objects were there)
I'll just copy the scene file out of my Toaster.
The best solution I was given for the motion curve problem is to create
a null object for the channel of motion I want to separate. However this
would only work for two channels since an object can only be parented to
one object.
I also was having trouble getting my camera to track an object. I had
rotated my camera underneath it and I had target set to the object.
Whenever I moved my object too far the camera would spin on it's Z axis in
a very undesirable way. If my camera was looking "Z-ward" this would not
happen but since I had moved the camera down on the Y I gwould get this
strange spinning effect. Is there a way to turn target off and still keep
the motion path that it created? When I turn target off the camera goes
back to default.
Hmm... I wonder, could save the motion path it created and then load it
back in again?
Thanks again!
