does anyone know a way to have the camera track an object while “set view target with blend” is active?

set view target with blend It has always been more of a fire & forget solution, not meant to do anything fancy. It’s a not a very smart node, it does not keep track of things. If the target is moving and blend time is greater than 0, then it already tracks the target, kind of. You may just expect…

I have some kind of a configurator, there are two pawns, each with a spring arm and a camera, each camera is pointing at a certain object in scene, i’m using the set view target with blend node to switch the cameras, problem is when it is switching the camera move is not nice, as in the camera just …

[image] Parsasrf2: i want the view blend to happen with the camera always pointing at a target. That won’t happen with the Set View Target - there is no control over what it’s doing. Half the time the node does not even know what its doing; as in, do not try to interrupt its interpolation as …

I’m not sure spline would work since the camera needs to go from to A to B from any point, here is what i’m trying to replicate https://youtu.be/DFrTOL7DM_8?t=64 I think the timeline option might work, will try it, thank you!

Hey, i managed to replicate the same effect with timeline, but still need the camera to look at the object during the transition. at the moment camera still looks at floor till it reaches the final destination. [UE_SC] not sure how to do that!

You’d need to find Look At Rotation. Could you clarify one thing. You said you want to track the target during transition but the vid that you linked does not really track it, it just slides the cam to a new location. Could you clarify which effect you’re after? Also, consider this approach, you’l…

here is what i have right now, i need the camera to keep looking at the ball as it moves to the new position [ezgif.com-video-to-gif]
