hi there,this is my first time in this forum,i have houdini 9.5 hd and i'm wondering how i can let the camera spin on itself?
i found out thet to move the camera you create a path,click on the camera,and you click on :“follow path” and than you indicate the path.
is it correct?
how can i let the camera spin to turn 30 degrees on itself (on the camera starting position)?

thanks so in advance much for the reply!!!javascript:emoticon('')

Putting a camera on a path is not the only way to move a camera. It is simply an object like any other and can be move any number of ways.
To rotate the camera on its own axis, the Y axis likely, you can change the Y rotation parameter in the parameter pane. Or in the viewport you can grab the Y rotation handle ( the green curve ).

thanks for the clues probbins,
i got that,but i forgot to say that i would like to render the camera moving on its own y axis (to take a panoramic view for example,from right to left)but i don't find a command to do that,it seems like it's impossible!!
still sorry for the question!!!

So in the Camera's Rotate parameter, put something like $FF*2 into the second component (ie. ry). Does that work the way that you want?
