Freeze Camera Transformations

[etribe2000]

I'm wondering if there is a reason, or if I just am doing it wrong, why Freeze Transformations won't work on camera's

thanks

I don't think it will work on a camera. This is because a camera node is not like a surface node, it need to keep it's work coordinates so it knows where it has to be when rendering, you can group the camera and animate or move the group and freeze transforms on the group... -But for what purpose are you trying to freeze the transforms on a camera??? I can't think of a reason for it myself..

Well I worked around it, and it actually turned out better this way.

I was trying to give attributes to the camera for random shake. For this I needed to have the camera at 0,0,0 and at the time I was working on a scene that already had a camera placed.

Turns out that I did finish the script which controls all the transforms of the camera with a random noise function. Then I just parented it to a locator to move it around.

I'll see about posting the script if anyone's interest.

-well there are a few scripts out there that do that and are adjustable, it applies it to the camera after you've keyed framed the camera movent or position, or if you want it static.. I beleive there should be one on this sight as well, If you had said thats what you wanted to do from the beginning, someone probably would've pointed you to one..
-Glad you have what you need though, and ya post the script.. I'd like to see it...
