How to make vtkCamera to follow along a path? Similar to what we have in paraview.

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to create my camera along a path. I have seen similar feature in paraview. How can I implement similar feature.

Thanks,

There might be something in VTK especially for it that I’m just not aware of but there’s tons of ways to do it.

A good start would be to code up a vtk timer event and slowly move it in there. ie: Just modifying the camera position and focal point forward along a straight path. Then call render on the window again.

Then you could start defining curved paths with splines. Or line mesh paths with slerps on the camera.

FYI It’s probably useful to become familiar with the vtkQuaternionInterpolator class (and related).
