Hey, I threw this together this morning, but it isn't working, though it ALMOST is.
SYNC ON : SYNC RATE 0
Make Object Cylinder 1,1
Scale Object 1,100,100,500
Pitch Object Up 1,90
Fix Object Pivot 1
MAKE MATRIX 1,500,500,10,10
turn#=0
Pitch#=0
OffsetX#=1
OffsetY#=1

DIM NORMAL#(3)
AUTOCAM OFF
MAKE OBJECT BOX 2,100,.1,.1

FUNCTION CamNormal()
NORMAL#(1)=cos(Camera Angle Y())
NORMAL#(2)=0-cos(Camera Angle X())
NORMAL#(3)=SIN(camera Angle Y())
ENDFUNCTION
Apart from not quite getting the x and z offsets right, the object angle X seems to randomly switch between positive and negative when rotating around the y axis for some reason.
