godday ya laddies! :slight_smile:

i came over this blend ( http://www.2shared.com/file/3092125/fe87737a/basic_yaf.html ) and discovered this handy thing with the camera, when you moved it it was aimed at the empty anywhere you moved it!
i tryed to find out what did it, but didnt find anytihng, so my question to you is, how do you do it? :slight_smile:

Haven’t looked at the blend but i think this is what you want:

Add an empty
Add a camera
Select the camera
Go to Object panel (F7)
Add Contraint -> TrackTo
OB:Empty
To: -Z, Up: Y

Add your empty, name it if you wish, then select your camera and add a constraint.
