Post by GraySho // Feb 13, 2007, 12:50pm GraySho Total Posts: 695 Not that I know of. If you render an animation, it will render the view that you are currently in. That means, if you want to have the animation viewed and rendered from the camera, then select the camera, click "view from object" (camera icon). Then render the frames that are suppose to be rendered from that camera. Then select the other camera, view from object, render the rest of the frames. I don't know if you have access to the viepoint by phyton script. Or there might be a plugin I don't know of and does just that.

You can also create a camera from the actual perspective view. Though it can not be keyframed. So it doesn't actually solve your problem, but it makes things easier.

I added a 'look at' target (the cone) to the camera and keyframed it at 4 positions around the subjects;changing position every 30 frames. The trick to making it flick is to have a keyframe holding the camera in one position until you want to change views.

Thanks. :)
