Take 14 - My environment

Hello there, the next documented part of my work, is the animation path for the model train.
I first had to group a light and camera to my model and attach that group to a line which is designed to go where I would want the train to.
I first had to change the alignment of the group to path contract through the motion tab in 3DS Max and add the line as the path.
To get the train to follow that path now the group was attached to the line, I just checked the option follow and realigned the group so it animated how I wanted it to.


The video is from the camera perspective following the line. The only problem with this method is that every time I ungrouped the selection I had to re-do the path constraint.
