A little help please??

I have a camera with a certain parameter limit (3ds max).

The camera tweens to another location.

Once it arrive at the new location, is there a way to reconfigure a new parameter limit for it?

This way, I can tween the camera around the scene with different set of parameter limit.

No, using active camera will not do as I want to have the animated camera tweening effect.

Currently my solution is to tween the camera to another camera and swap the camera once it arrived.

Thanks in advance.

The only way is to create multiple amount of Cameras in the scene with different params and switch between them.

In my case this didn’t solve the problem.

I have several Orbit-Cams with different parameters. It is possible to tween from one cam to another.
Because the startposition has to be defined, I have to reset the orbit-cams somewhere.
The only way I found is to reset the active cam by tween in 0 sec. The causes a flicker if the cam was moved before.
Is it possible to tween or reset an inactive cam. This would solve the flicker.

Thanks Ralf

You can use snap puzzle for inncative camera.

Okay, I tried snap and it works perfect for the Cam-position. Is it possible to set the ‘lookAt’ of an inactive camera as well?

thanks, Ralf

I finally managed to change the orbit-cam limits by exec script puzzel.
```
app.controls.enableZoom = true;
app.controls.enablePan = false;
app.controls.minDistance = 10;
app.controls.maxDistance = 15;
//console.log(app.controls.getPolarAngle()); // in case you are lost
app.controls.minPolarAngle = 0.6;
app.controls.maxPolarAngle = Math.PI;
//console.log(app.controls.getAzimuthalAngle ());
app.controls.minAzimuthAngle = - Infinity;
app.controls.maxAzimuthAngle = Infinity;
```

If you are talking about (for example). Tweening Camera1 to camera2 then do a switch active to camera2.

But now the Camera1 position is no longer at it’s previous default position. I had problem with resnapping it back to it’s original position. As “snap” camera target cause a bug where the camera clipping plane value will change (I have created another post for this).

Instead of using snap puzzle, I copy the original camera1 positon+target XYZ value in 3ds max and use “set position” puzzle.
