    Hey Verge3D team,

    Amazing software. Very excited for the future of this tech :)

    Question – I want to build a camera similar to CineShader’s website (https://cineshader.com/)

    I want the camera to move on a pre-determined course, which I believe I know how to do using the tween and animated camera puzzles.

    My big question, however, is how to limit the user from zooming, and mouse-click rotating the scene. Is it best to leave the camera in orbit mode and add a script to remove mouse cilcking and mouse-wheel zooming?

    Second, how can I allow the camera to track the mouse cursor so it rotates slightly to create a slightly interactive effect?

    Thank you!

    you can switch your camera from Orbit to Static; then animate an empty object and parent the Static camera to it

    Thanks for the response Yuri!

    For animating the empty object and parenting the static camera — are those things I do in Blender or would utilize puzzles for?

    I’m not sure I fully understand the hint, either! :(

    You can set camera zoom and rotation speed to 0 in Blender.
