Camera Controller About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011. They are retained here for archive purposes only. Camera Controller // Interactive Artwork 1  |   Order by default Post by trueBlue // Sep 2, 2006, 11:18pm trueBlue Total Posts: 1761 I put together a little Camera Controller. I think it is pretty much self explanatory. This Camera is focused on the center of the grid. If you would like it to focus on your object's axis, hook the WldMatrix IN connector to your object's WldMatrix. You should place your object in the center of the grid. When you disconnect it, right click the WldMatrix IN and choose Reset. Selecting the Reset button will restore all default settings. There is a timer hooked up to Dele's Orbiter for orbiting around the center of the grid. All credit goes to Dele for this Metamphor of his creation. Thanks Dele! htttp://www.deledesigns.com/ (http://www.deledesigns.com/) Post by frootee // Sep 3, 2006, 6:32am frootee Total Posts: 2667 cool trueblue! I have an architecture animation that this would fit nicely with. I tried using a path animation but had difficulty steering the camera; sometimes it doesn't stare in the direction I need. Maybe this'll do the trick! Frootee Post by trueBlue // Sep 3, 2006, 8:20pm trueBlue Total Posts: 1761 I updated the Camera Controller. Added Views for Front, Back, Right, Left. Replaced the Timer.

Thanks for the acknowledgment, but you've really taken the Orbiter and created something entirely new here. Plus the Orbiter was your idea in the first place. ;) You've got some crazy scripting going on with some of those buttons. I'll have to study what you've got going on there. :) Post by trueBlue // Sep 7, 2006, 3:51am trueBlue Total Posts: 1761 Thanks Dele, I am glad you approve. I was worried about that! As for the Crazy Scripting goes, yes I agree and shows my Newbieness :o I was trying to create a script that hooks up the Target Matrix for selected object from a button, but have failed to do so. Also the Perspective View button does not work in Shared Space. I do not understand what would be the correct default settings for the Period and or what it is. I would like to make this controller be the best it could be, so if you have any ideas or solutions, please do your magic! Would it be possible to create this whole Camera Controller from one script? EG: Camera, Timer, Orbiter.
