Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Camera Aim problems

I am having trouble with my camera aim function in maya 2015. I have created a camera and aim and keyframed many points. I tested it and was looking great until later I viewed that cameras perspective and accidentally moved around the object manually (control + click rotate). Now my camera will not follow the aim point no matter what i try to do. I tried to constrain the camera and aim but no luck. Help would be greatly appreciated.

As you can see in these images, The camera and aim are connected but the camera never changes its rotation or angle to keep the aim point in the center of the camera's perspective.

maybe you have keyed the wrong camera node?

i dont think that is it because i have not keyframed anything after that. I also did a test in a new scene and I am having the same results. Thanks for the reply though
