This is a nifty trick to have up your sleeve to make any camera smooth as silk in Cinema 4D, using a Constraint tag of all things. Actually you can really use it to make any animation in C4D fluid.
TUTORIAL: How to make a Smooth Dynamic Camera Rig in Cinema 4D:
00:00 - Intro
00:19 - Showing a finished camera move.
00:36 - Making a guide spline for the camera
01:04 - Making a camera follow a spline (using Align to Spline)
01:16 - Adding a target object to the camera
03:02 - Making the Align to Spline speed even (using a MoSpline)
04:06 - Smoothing out the Camera Move using the Constraint tag
05:38 - Adding pre calculation time for the Constraint tag to catch up
06:15 - Give your camera a more handheld look in Spring setting
06:37 - Get some Process of Motion
07:02 - Big toodles

Hello Daniel. Love the technique. I might have a quick tip for you so. You can skip the part with the MoSpline if you set the intermidiate points of your camera spline to "uniform". This will also result in a single speed motion. The position on spline tag looks at the intermidiate points. All the best. Love your work.

Nice technique with constrain tag! You can do even speed without mograph Mospline by settings attributes in spline to "even". Will also be smooth as silk.

amazing tip with the hook constraint. I did not know that - and I am often struggling with camera animation. So it was a good idea to once again search for camera techniques and to luckily find your little gem video. QUESTION: I think you dont really need a hook camera, you could also use nulls but maybe it is better to use a hook camera for the first look and feel of the animation.

No idea why this popped up in my algo but thank god it did! The different speeds of cameras when using "align to spline" tag was driving me nuts for years but I never came across the MoSpline as a solution for this (and I remember having problems using the "uniform method" - but dunno exactly). Anyway: Thank you!

Hi Daniel. Really great tutorial - works wonders on my animation. I cant seem to do DOF though thru the CAM. Only works thru the CAM HOOK. If thru the CAM its absolute, so the entire scene goes OOF and not on the focus target. Any help here? Im using Arnold. Thanks alot!!

@DanielDanielsson 10 ай бұрын

No idea... If both have the Arnold tags and the target objects etc I would expect it to work. Might be something with the order of operations in the objects manager. Baking the springy camera might solve it.

@MsAlenka1993 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks a lot for this tut. But I have a problem. Can you help me? When I add constraint tag and make adjustments which you recommended, my second cam moves smoothly, but when my main cam makes a turn, the second one starts to turn earlier and bacause of that it looses focus from my main object. Any ideas what am I doing wrong? Or how can i fix this ?

@lexxandera 2 жыл бұрын

my guess would be that the objects are in the wrong order of operation. main camera needs to be above the second camera. Always think from top to bottom. if something drives another object, it needs to be calculated first.

@tf4908 4 жыл бұрын

could you not just zero out the new camera to the hook camera to avoid the starting jitter?

@DanielDanielsson 4 жыл бұрын

As long as you also bake it that will work. Otherwise as soon as the timeline loops around the camera still has to swoop back from the position is has at the very last frame.

@deaosatori216 3 жыл бұрын

When I add the second camera with the spring tag, it doesn't rotate to look at my target nul like the original camera does. any ideas? Thanks

Sounds like an unchecked checkbox for rotation on the spring constraint tag.

@elissitdesign 4 жыл бұрын

I dont think the MoSpline is necessary. If you simply change the camera path splines 'intermediate points' to "uniform" that fixes the timing/speed issue.
