Kimowal submitted a new resource:

LookCam Assistant - Camera Camera Tools, Camera Control, Cinematics View Saver,

LookCam Assistant is a camera bookmarking and navigation tool for VirtaMate that lets you capture, organize, and replay camera views with ease.
It’s built for creators who move the camera a lot while building scenes, posing characters, or framing shots — and want a clean way to save and return to great angles.


The plugin watches the main camera and automatically saves a camera mark when you stop moving, or you can capture views manually at any time. Each view stores full...

Favorites & Category Overhaul

This update focuses on making large camera lists easier to manage, especially in complex scenes with many bookmarks.


New layout & organization features

Am I missing something?. How do you rename a camera position?. It says click on the search filter field and enter the new name (What is the search filter field?). Where the name is shown its a label not a text input box so you cannot enter or change the text.

🎥 LookCam Assistant , 1.0.6 Update​


This update adds Director Mode, allowing LookCam Assistant to automatically switch between your saved camera angles.

You can now:

I have a question about the plugin features.
Is there a way to disable smooth camera transitions?
I want the view to switch immediately when I click a captured camera.
It would be great if the minimum value for TransitionSpeed could be set to 0.
 
Can't the camera position be updated? Maybe you can add this feature

Hello,

Thank you for the update.

After installing the plugin with this update, I tested the following workflow:
I captured a camera, saved it as cam1, and clicked Load Position. I confirmed that the feature worked correctly.

However, when I tried to resume my work and pressed F to focus the camera on a person, the camera focus became misaligned. If I press F repeatedly, the camera position continues to drift further away.

Even after deleting the plugin, pressing F continues to cause the camera focus to become misaligned.
At that time, the Session Plugin list was empty.
If I completely close VAM and launch it again, pressing F once correctly focuses the camera.
After that, even if I load LookCam Assistant again, the focus continues to work normally.
However, once I capture a camera and press Load Position, the issue starts again.
After using Load Position, pressing F causes the camera focus to become misaligned, and repeated presses make the camera drift further each time.

I would like to ask if the F key is assigned as a shortcut within this plugin.
If not, this behavior feels like a possible bug, so I wanted to report it to you.

Thank you for your time, and I appreciate your work on this plugin.

Hey, no the F has no function for my plugin as such.. however i was combining the camera wrong, which interfered with the original camera. so ive done a new update that should fix this. The update is already sent in and is awaiting release.

Thank you very much. I hope the update will be approved soon.
By the way, your plugin is amazing. It is extremely useful and really enhances the experience of enjoying VAM.
I also wanted to share a small suggestion:
It would be great if Physics Attachment Engine had a feature to save Attach settings for desktop mode, not only VR controller–specific attachments, directly into the scene. I think this would be very helpful for desktop users.
Thank you again for all your hard work and dedication.
