This simple addon allows you to store and name camera locations/rotations, focal length, and render resolution. You can then assign any camera to the stored location by selecting it and clicking the Assign button(camera icon), which will move the camera to the stored location. I needed something like this and I couldn’t find it, so here it is. I’m open to suggestions to make it better.
Functions:
plus sign - Stores current camera position as a new entry in the list.
magnified plus sign - Stores camera position based on current 3D view.
refresh button - Stores current camera position to selected entry, overwriting any previous location.
minus sign - Remove entry from the list.
camera button - Move selected camera to selected entry location.
Up/Down arrows - Cycles through stored camera positions.
Hope you find it useful.
current version 0.04
-added focal length and render resolution to saved properties
hi again cmomoney i assigned shortcut keys to next and previous since im going to use it a lot.
problem : if i assigned a hotkey to next / previous command button and trigger it where
camera is not selected nor any object in 3D view the last object i selected will be move
Okay, I’ve updated it. But instead of having it ignore other objects, I made it move the active camera. That way you won’t have to reselect the camera to cycle through with the shortcut. Is that okay?
cmomoney, great addon,very useful. I sometimes find I have up to 20 cameras in some scenes lol. This has helped tidy up my scenes. You ask is there any other settings we would like stored, how about DOF. And I dont know if its posible but can you save render resolutions, there are loads of times I want to switch from landscae to portrait for different camera. Failing that is it posible to save specific reder regions within a camera.
Thanks mate, if you can do this it will save a massive amount of work.
cmomoney, thanks mate. Yeah the resolution store would be the most important setting for me. DOF is very rarely ued and It could be set manually. But het thanks for all your hard work, much appreciated mate.
I agree, lens angle and resolution would be most useful as these relate to the FOV directly (though I don’t usually mess much with resolution within a project). Other DOF settings more likely to be tweaked later on.
