Re: 3D Camera Tracking Info and BCC 3D Extruded Text
by joe smith

I love what the extruded text can do but for a beginner like me ( intermediate), your tutorial skips the most important part...How to link the X,Y,and Z to the PFhoe camera. You say in your tut that you've explained it but I spent most of the day looking at your tuts and found nothing.

If you can explain it ( or anyone else), I'd greatly appreciate it.

* I tried using the rotations and linking them up but to no avail. And when I click the "use comp camera", the text disappears.

Thanks in advance.
