Any threads or pointers on drawing a camera path that tracks in x,y, and z directions?
i.e., a downward spiral looking to the center at all times?
thanks in advance.

It might be easier to spin the layer the camera is looking at.
Rotate the layer while moving it in the z axis. No camera motion needed. If you turn on 3D camera in the project settings the layer will move in 3D space as it moves in the z axis.

i might be able to do that.
i've got a lot of elements going on this christmas tree that move. e.g.,ornaments, trinkets, etc.
i'd have to group all those groups under a top-level group and work that for the camera.
hmmm
