Hello Julien,

    You have two ways to do what you want, but first I think that it's
easier if you attach your point of view to a DCS node , then you have to
move the DCS node to move your point of view.

1 - You make your own path by incrementing the position at each new frame,
and you attach the rotation to a driver. this is not easy if the path is not
simple.
2 - You use a pfPath and after the pfuFollowPath (path, delta, pos.xyz,
pos.hpr) you change the pos.hpr with the entry of your driver. then you can
use
pfDCSCoord (DCS_node, &pos). It will make exactly what you want, and the
past can be quite complex (curves, acceleration, deceleration ...).

Hi,

Is there simple tools in Performer to animate the camera along a fixed
path ?
What can I do to simply create and edit this path ?

I want to fix the camera movement and let the user simply control the
look at point
of view (Imagine you are in a touristic bus and you can only choose the
direction
of your look).

Thanks,
Julien.
