Script to move a Camera's position to its target coordinates Tweet

[MB]

All,

This script is very helpful in setting up a series of views to be included in a VR Tour for use by the Create VR Tour script (also posted on this thread). For instance, it is easy to set up a path for the tour to follow. It is well worth using the short cut 'ctrl T' if making such a path with many views.

Description/Instructions as follows.

-- This script moves the Camera's position to the current Camera's Target location.
-- In this way a user can position a Camera in the Scene by using Octane's
-- Target Picker in the render viewport.
--
-- Optionally the user can set the eye elevation to a specified height above the
-- current Target Position in the current Octane View. This way they can always
-- click on a floor or ground plane to specify the x/y location and the script will
-- set the y height consistently above that plane. The user can opt to create a
-- copy of the original camera node so that it is not lost when its position coordinates modified.
-- If the name of the original camera contains a numeral as its last character, and is optionally
-- copied, a new camera is created with the numeral incremented by 1. E.g. 'Working Camera 01' will
-- be retained, and a new camera with the new target and position parameters will be created an
-- named 'Working Camera 02'.
