camera weirdness

ok…i have a weird problem…it appears that when i press 0 or f12 it thinks the camera is in the middle of the object (i mean the exact center point) and rendering from there! but i want him to render frm the actual camera! so my question is how the hell did i tell him to render from the center and how do i fix that?

Hmmm sounds like you might have a second camera in the middle there…

Try hitting ctrl-numpad 0

That should switch to your next camera.

Check all your layers as well to see whether a camera is there.

Also it might happen even after you delete the second camera… it’s only unlinked from your scene on delete. You need to save/reopen to get rid of things completely.

didnt find any second camera there…but the ctrl+0 did the trick…thanks! (it’s not the first times that’s happeninng to me…oh well)

Chances are you hit ctrl-0 while you had the object selected. That makes the active object become the “camera”.

As you’ve discovered, selecting a real camera then hitting ctrl-0 makes that camera active again.
