Hi there! I have created a basic slider. When I try to use it, it rotates very fast and then slows down when it get’s back to the middle. How can I enable a “real time” (if I may use that term) slider?
group "sliders"
(
slider tilt "Camera Rotation" orient:#horizonal ticks:10 range:[-150,150,0]
)
on tilt changed val do
(
rotate $ (angleaxis val [1,0,0])
)
Thanks!
so here’s the whole thing in case anyone had any ideas. I think it could be a time saver as I generally animate my camera with the spinners. Thanks again.

does nobody else have this issue or is the solution so obvious and I am being too lazy?
“on tilt changed val do (rotate $ (angleaxis val [1,0,0]))”, well what this does is it adds its value as rotation everytime the value changes. that’s causing the weird behaviour. you prolly want to set (not add) the rotation values according to the slider.
also, this would only work on a ‘free camera’, for a ‘target camera’ you’ll have to check “use target as up node” and the “roll” button right below in the look at parameters (motion tab), and then drive the camera target rotation with your slider.
Thanks Blake!
I will check the help file for set vs add – thanks much
