Interesting Features

Frequently Asked Question

"What is the person-figure for?"

Answer: The person-figure is there to give you a visual reference for filming at eye-level. Scale the dummy to the size a person would be in your scene, and the camera will capture a person's perspective. You can adjust FOV and target distance in real time as you record.

Configuration Parameters
 

Allow Roll
Allowing the camera to roll as you navigate around your scene can be very disorienting. As a default the camera will maintain it's "up" orientation. But you can choose to add roll if you want.

Walk Cycle Frequency

Craft ObserverCam can walk! Press the 'walk cycle' button an it moves up and down like a person walking. You control the frequency and amplitude in real-time if you want to move from running to walking and back. No scripting.

Cam Shaker Amplitude

Shake your camera when an explosion occurs. Perhaps there is an earthquake or a tremor. The amplitude of the shake can be customized.

Transl MemRegulator

When the Transl MemRegulator is applied, Craft ObserverCam will automatically go to the memorized position (which is saved with "Save MemReg State").

Orient MemRegulator

When the Orient MemRegulator is applied, Craft ObserverCam will automatically turn and look towards the memorized position (which is saved with "Save MemReg State").

Save MemReg State

Saves the current position of the camera.

Relative Scale
This value can be used to adjust all of the camera's movement settings to the scene's scale. A higher value will increase the movement of the camera which can be needed in a scene using a big scale as working units(meter, yard, kilometer, etc.).

Input Parameters

Maximum Speed
All of the input parameters are configurable so that you can operate at the speed that is needed in your specific scene.

Response Factor
Each input paramter has a response factor between 0 and 1. This determines how quickly the camera reacts to your input. Not only does this make for smooth and pleasant accelerations but also deceleration. With a slow response factor the camera doesn't come to a jolting hault when you let go of the controls.
