Hi Zack,

Nice animation, I find that having read the replies most of the salient
points have already been covered but I would like to add that this is
why I use Maya for the animation path generation. Since you can see the
graphs for the camera movement these can be tweaked to give a smooth
flow from point to point and by adjusting the gradients of the graphs
the accelerations of the camera can be controlled.

I am not sure if it possible to import obj or other type files into the
"personal learning edition" of Maya but if so this version is a free
download and so could be used to set these paths visually which might
help.

Rich
