Linking a level or group to the camera - aka Bi-Pack

Post by Rhoel »

Is there a way of linking a level (or group) to the camera?

Consider the following example.
The camera is mounted on a Biplane as it flies towards a landscape. In front of us is the helmeted pilot, his scalf flapping in the slipstream. In traditional filmed animation, we would use a technique called Bi-Pack. In computyer compositing, we link the animation levels to the camera. In this way, any camera moves are automatically linked to the level orr level group, (in our example the biplane and the animation of the pilot, his scalf etc). Since the background is not linked to the camera as we pan and zoom the camera around, the ground and horizon appear to roll and pitch.

My Question is, Can I do this in Moho 5?

If not, can we add this feature in vrs 6.

Yes!
In the layer properties, General tab, check the "Immune to camera movements" option for the layer/group that you wish to "link" to the camera movement.

Many thanks ... works a treat.

And so I go, boldly onto the next problem
