Re: [Virtools] Getting nuts with the bus

I was thinking of a combination of the two solutions but I wasn't very
clear. Sorry about that.

1) Use nodal paths to define the routes for the bus.  Grids would certainly
work just as well here - I just happen to feel confortable with nodal paths
(finally :-) and I think that they are pretty cool!
2) You could parent the camera to the bus for the exterior shots if you
want.
3) As you say, use the 3D curve and parenting technique to move the camera
around within the bus.

Sorry for not being more explicit.
