Smartphone remote

Here’s my initial first test after getting it working. I decided to create a new scene with very simple proxy objects to keep things simple, then copied the camera from that over to my main scene when ready. I also found I’d moved my phone a little too unsteadily. I selectively smoothed some of the stuff in the Graph Editor to get it nearer what I was wanting.

Overall it’s very promising. II can see myself using this a hell of a lot.

I showed this test to some people in a Discord server I’m a member of and they were impressed with the addon. A couple were asking some interesting questions. The most obvious one was: Would it be possible to allow the phone or tablet to simultaneously record and store the “clean” video for the period camera data was also being captured? This would mean you’d be able to record the footage, the motion tracked camera movements and then later combine both of these with virtual objects. It would save users having to go through doing traditional motion tracking of a video.

Anyway… great work. I shall play with this some more :slight_smile:
