understanding lock
Posted: 10.05.2009, 12:35
I am trying to view the solar system from "above" (ecliptic pole) but locking the Sun Earth direction in the camera.
With this script :
the Earth Sun direction is not locked in the camera, and I can see Earth annual motion around the Sun.
But locking works if I invert "Sol" and "Sol/Earth" positions in the script (except the ecliptic plane is wobbling because it's keeping the projection of the Earth Z body axis fixed on the camera).
Why doesn't the first script work?
Thank you.
