Tie the camera to an object?

drewgandy

I would like to place the camera inside an object so that it is basically "looking out" through a window in the object and then be able to move this object around with the camera always in the same position in the object (and looking the same direction in relation to the object). Basically, the camera is always "looking out the window". Is this possible?

Thanks

There is a "Film and stage plugin" for SU - although originally it was written for version 5 and has not been upgraded AFAIK but I think it should work on later versions, too):

(scroll down to it).

I think it can do what you wish here.

I downloaded it and have been playing with it. Documentation seems to be a little thin. I'm still determining if some strange behavior is normal or if there are problems with it with SK7. But it's showing great promise for what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks!
