let me know when you have installed the new Raylectron and I'll guide you step by step ok?
Downloaded and first try everything works as desired.

oh! I'm happy that it does
I'm now working on the camera so it can be manipulated within the script just as an object.

and another thing, I don't know if you noticed but the preview no longer do frames by frames, it does as real time so that you can see speeds as they will be in the final.

Cool. No, I wasn't aware of that.

Before, if you had set your video to 30 frames per seconds, the preview was playing each frame, even if 30 of them didn't take 1 sec. So it was very hard to know how fast your object was going. Now, it plays back x number of frames / sec depending on how fast it displays a single frame, so it may look jumpier but at least you can see how fast things are moving, the clouds too.

That is amazing! And I will be able to start working on something this week, most likely from Wednesday. Today I'm sleeping And tomorrow is ANZAC day, so I'll be in the City from 4am until late afternoon

Very cool I'd like to see the script you used?
Sorry, I have already overwritten the file again. And I can't really remember the exact script. But I'll try to put it together somehow. It should have looked something like this:
So, I have tried this script. It is correct so far, but the command for the camera rotation is not quite correct. With this script, the camera turns a little longer than in the video. But for the movement of the models it is absolutely correct.
Oh, and I used the script on both models that move.

The camera rotation is in degree, so it's rotating 1.5 deg per FPS so after one seconds, it should have rotated 45 degrees and 90 after 2 seconds, assuming you have set 30 FPS.

In the meantime, I also think that it is not due to the script. The distance between the camera and the models is different, I think. Hence the difference.

"The distance between the camera and the models is different", indeed it is. When you move your mouse over an object, you can then look at the status bar and it will tell you the distance between the camera and the point on the object your mouse is on.

Fortunately. Otherwise, the bar you have set would have been even higher! How can one compete with such a masterpiece?

How strange! Not what you said really, at least not in context. My CO though said almost exactly the same, the other day. Thank you Okwa

So she's an overachiever at work too. I knew it.
