Wondering if people here can help me out at all
« on: June 21, 2009, 05:33:23 PM »
Just a few things I'm a little stuck on:

1) With videos, how do people get those angles where the ship starts behind the camera and flies 'through' the camera before dissapearing into the distance, if my ship gets that close my camera (in cinematic mode) just flicks to another angle, this is the main one I want to know really

2) After I go into edit mode with Edit() if I create a light I'm left with a massive green triangle where the light is coming from, same happens with an asteroid field, even if I leave edit mode I still have these coloured triangles hanging around, also in the second menu for edit mode if I click anything in here like *Change orientation or something like that my BC crashes to desktop, anyone got any pointers for edit mode?

Thanks for any help you can give it's all appreciated =D

for the light just move that thing away. klick it, press m and use the arrow keys.

and when you want your ship in cinematic mode like you said, you must not have a target selected, then press F5 and your camera will be static.

"And this... is... to go... even further beyond!"

My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

Just trying to show the sheer scale of a ship this time, in my hopes of building up to being able to do a whole video just wondering if people think I managed to capture the size of the sovereign in this one:
