path constraints causing major creative constraints
by amarjeet singh on Apr 28, 2008 at 12:04:29 pm

hi all,
in my scene, a wide shot, a space-ship flies in from left hand side of the screen at a distance and flies across the scene to the right and then re-emerge from the right to halt and then make a landing.

please see the link/image below for a snapshot of the scene.

my issue is that i have made a line and added it to the space-ships path constraints. but when the space ship reaches its destination and i want it to land i do not know how to unlock it from the path and proceed with the landing bit.

thanks.

Create a dummy object, and parent the whole thing to the dummy. When the ship reaches the end of the path constraint. animate the dummy.
