I do not see why the fly through should be so difficult in terms of the camera losing control. Time consuming yes I understand is acceptable for your artistic goals. Still I see no advantage for the original arrangement. I do see a lack of control. | |
| Oct 10, 2018 at 17:53 | comment | added | kim holder | I have done camera aiming by using an empty on a path before. They were long flythroughs of complex architecture, as is this, and each time it was a long, tedious, finicky process with mediocre results. I'm inclined to at least use the setup with the cyclic dependency to place the main points on the path, as other approaches make it very hard to have the camera point where I want, when I want. Then I could remove it, but it's a cyclic dependency that works. The math is solvable, and it's useful. | |
| Oct 10, 2018 at 17:52 | comment | added | atomicbezierslinger | If I remove the distance constraints then the empty moves in a entirely different way. So I wont have time to know what is intended by you. I will say a fresh start can be ... | |

| Oct 10, 2018 at 17:29 | comment | added | atomicbezierslinger | The empty has about 7 keyframes . I may be in error. I do not consider that to be many for rework. I have not experimented with your file because my time is limited at the moment. I have not investigated if the cyclic dependency if it is cause large or small problems or no problems. | |
| Oct 10, 2018 at 17:24 | comment | added | atomicbezierslinger | I am trying to convey its ill-advised to have a cyclic dependency. I see no explanation for the limit distance or its use. Please explain its use. Thus I more ready as the reader to delete that constraint. I have less sunk cost bias because I did not do your work. | |

| Oct 10, 2018 at 17:06 | comment | added | kim holder | I am in the process of trying to remove the cyclic dependency. I haven't done that before so it's trial and error. That would remove the need to do the other things though, if that then allows the system to work. It almost was. | |
