Camera Position Save

[moronicjoker]

Ever faced a situation in which you wanted to compare different camera settings and positions?

Saveing those to a list would be great.

+1 as a node

There was already a thread about this recently, but yeah, I share the opinion...

+1 as a list (I'm hopeless with nodes !)

meanwhile you can use a low-tech hack. Write down the camera values in a paper for the cameras you like and type them back to compare them.

Hi guys, I had some free time, and decide to show you a trick I discovered when I played with first 2.3. It apply for cameras and lamps as well.. I made a quick video to see how to workaround and use multiple lights and cameras in scene without need of restarting the program or save multiple OCS files.

Here is the video, it's made pretty simple and fast, so ignore some mouse hover here and there


Enjoy..

Nice one Andrian !

Thinking about your approach and looking a bit in the code (that helps :=), for camera at least you have another option: after switching the camera connection from one to the other, simply enable then disable the Stereoscopic view (next to A/F) using the toolbar. It's going to update the cams too and will be faster than playing with the subsampling parameter.

EDIT: If you want to work incrementally (i.e. build new camera settings from the current) - instead of creating new camera nodes, you can right click the current Preview camera, save it as ocm and reload it. Just pay attention that when reloading the ocm, it will have the exact same position and name as the previous one so you might miss that it's been correctly reloaded /EDIT

This is a totally awesome trick! You made my day Andrian, now if I could use a command flag to access those nodes I could batch render from a single file! is there a thinlens flag for the command line?
