Problem with camera and constraint
Hi all!

I can't understand: as work "Track to Constraint"?
I need to make simple effect: camera approaching to the object and making a circle around it.

I made so: created object "Empty", tied it to camera - Ctrl+Shift+C - "Tract to" and then I planned to move "empty" to my object and to rotate "empty" at 360 degrees.
But when I made this "track to", my camera is turned at an impossible angle. :) I tried to play with settings "Camera->Constraint", I selected another axis in "To:" and "Up:", but I get the same effect. When I moved "empty", it don't moved but rotated my camera. When I rotated "empty", I get no effect or rotated camera around its axis, but I need to rotate camera around object.
And I don't understand: what I made wrong?

Hi, Not sure what you did wrong but try this :

1) Make sure that you have them both(camera and empty) selected and that the camera is dark orange and the empty is the highlighted one of the two(yellow orange). Now when you select Track to Constraint(from the Object -> Track menu) you should see the camera aim at the empty properly.

If you have any further problems then download this :

Thank you, this advice helped me. Now camera aim at the "empty" properly and no one strange effects.

I all understand and now all work right. :)
