Hello everyone, I want to know if the room can follow the object moving automatically, without doing it manually.

Can you give more details on this, please? :)

when you have to make a video for the camera to follow the character I always move manually, there is a way to follow the camera to the character you want and without having to do it manually every second?
ps I use a translator because I do not know English I apologize if you are not very precise

You can parent your camera to the character for example and it will follow them, add to that you can point the camera at the character - if it does not aim exactly where you want them parent a null node to that point and set the camera to look at the null node. Of course parent the null node "in place" to the character. Note that "In Place" refers to the character node it is attached onto not the x,y,z of the scene.

Process:
Set the camera where you want it and parent it "in place." As the parent is the character not the scene it will move with them in relatively the same place.

Advice:
Often is is a good idea to parent a mobile camera to a null node also as they are easy to manage if you want to manually aim it for some frames.

Example:
I have made scenes where for example a camera is parented to a rotating thing like an orbiting body and another is watching it. I render it with each camera and decide which version I like the best. Often my orbiting camera picks up on the best view then I put a fixed one with locked x,y and z.

Tip:
Remember to save the original camera's out as a preset before you do too much! It is so easy to jump into a mobile camera then move it by accident while fixing something you saw through it! Jump back to perspective view to adjust the scene.
