Camera Array

DESCRIPTION

Quickly create an array of cameras from the vertex normals of a mesh or spline.

FEATURES

• Gets the position and orientation for each camera from the vertices of a mesh or the knots of a spline.
• Choose to work with all vertices or only selected ones.
• Supported cameras: Physical Camera, Standard Camera, VRay Physical Camera.
• All cameras are instances. (You can make them unique if you want)
• Create either free cameras (oriented like vertex normals) or targeted cameras (all linked and pointing to a parent dummy).
• Free cameras can point to: 1. direction of the vertex normals 2. opposite direction of vertex normals.
• Generates a root dummy to manipulate the array of cameras.
• Root dummy custom controls: – Reset transforms for the whole array. – Freeze/Unfreeze all cameras.
• Creates selection sets to easily select the root dummy and the parent of the targets.
• You can freely delete any cameras in the array and continue to work with the rest.
• Navigate through all camera views with 2 simple arrow buttons.

INSTALLATION
