CamSeq for DS 2,3,4

══════════════════

Introduction

══════════════════

CamSeq is Daz Studio script i wrote.

It lets you combine the animation of any number of cameras into one camera.

So instead of rendering a ton of short segments from each camera, you render the whole movie in one pass :)

The Video Tutorial Shown below should be enough to get you started

Switcher is an upgrade to Camseq written in collaboration between mCasualJacques and TugPSX

Note: while making this video , ( using CamSeq ! ) Daz Studio crashed when i tried adding camera animations after frame 3600

i dont know if that's a bug in Daz Studio or in my script, but the fact remains, you should save your scene before launching a script

If your movie is longer than 3600 frames, you could limit the animation of Camera Main to frames 0 to 3599, then rename it to

"Camera Main A", then create a new camera named "Camera Main" and use it for frames 3600 to 7199.

transcript of the video was added to the release page and can serve as a manual

Amy: Hi.

Amy: Let's say we have this mysterious scene.

Misstick: Very odd.

Amy: And we have two cameras to shoot a sequence of shots there's "Camera 1" which will start in front of the lovely Misstick.

Misstick: You're so sweet.

Amy: Then it will slowly get closer then it will zoom in for a close up of her pretty face.

Misstick: Aw come on.

Amy: And there's "Camera 2" which will remain pointed at her as it moves through the wall.

Misstick: Did you say through the wall?

Amy: Yes ladies and gentleman through the wall! ... until it's in the room behind her. The script mCasual wrote lets you combine many camera shots into one.

Misstick: It's like in that spice girls song you know to become one.

Amy: Let's create a camera named "Camera Main" it must be exactly "Camera Main" and we launch the script with the poetic name CamSeq. The top part will contain the sequence which is a list of shots. Let's create a shot.

Misstick: Yeah like why not create a shot !?.

Amy: This scene uses "Camera 1" and goes from frame 0 to 30.

Amy: We add it to the sequence using the insert button.

Amy: The second scene uses "Camera 2" and goes from frame 30 to 60.

Amy: And here is our complete sequence.
