Technical Tutorial

Hello, today I am going to show you how to make a motion path and attach a camera to it for animation purposes in Autodesk Maya.




First, make sure you are in modeling and on the Curves / Surfaces tab. This tab holds everything you need for making a motion path.

Now, select your shape and scale it to the desired size.

This is all the tools you can use to make a motion path

I went with a circle. I then scaled it to the desired size

Now, go to the Rendering tab and select the Camera

It is the one with the camera on the grid

Now drag your mouse over both objects, selecting both.










Next, go from Rendering to Animation. Then at the top, select Constrain>Motion Path>Attach to motion path

Now, your camera is attached and you can continue with Animating!
