Hi there,
Would anyone know if there is an easy way to make a smooth path for a camera to run around? I am making a fly through of a building development (or part of one) and find the scene to scene method very clunky and awkward to manipulate. I have done many flythroughs in 3ds max as it is easy to move the camera into any position and along the timeline without having to look through the camera and to have a smooth run, add keyframes etc. I have tried many ruby scripts including CameraKeyMaker, SmoothAnimation and ProperAnimation, but find they still have too many constraints. (FOV problems etc.)

I want to get an animation using the the styles in sketchup which is why I am not using 3ds max. If anyone knows a way of getting as close to sketchup style images in 3ds max that would also solve my problem too! (ink n paint is very slow and you cant get as good results as sketchup)
Many Thanks

Hi Gaieus, Thanks for your reply. Its a an architectural model: site, houses, trees etc. all modelled in sketchup pro. Its likely the client would'nt even know what to do with the model, as I would probably have to explain how to pan/move around in the viewer anyway. (The client is a developer) But someone in his office might know sketchup. I could just explode all components and groups to make the model not worth modifying, but if they had the free version of sketchup they could still export their own images. Any way to prevent this? Thanks again in advance.

Hello there, does anyone know how to export an .skp file so it can only be viewed in the skethcup viewer and not able to be modified? My boss has asked me to send a client a model, but of course I don't want to allow them to modify it as they could easily download sketchup free and do as they like. Thanks in advance. (I realize this may have been asked before, but this my 1st post.)
