doing a loop the loop.

[super gnu]

very simple.. camera, or any object, animated along path. want to do a loop-the-loop.. damn gimbal lock stops me doing it. whatever i do the camera / object flips over at the highest point of the loop.


can someone give me a nice simple explanation of how to achieve this unbelievably simple thing?

[instinct]

Either use a non-target camera that can rotate anyway you want it, or use a camera rig that permits manually setting an upvector.

non-target camera still flips... any more detaill on the "rig with a manual up-vector"?

When you use a camera on a path and I guess you do the loop by activating "follow". Make sure "Allow upside down" is active as well and it should stop flipping.

ah.. yes.. of course.. the "allow upside down" button. always a useful one if you want things to erm.. go upside down. d'oh. how embarrasing.
