vamBear submitted a new resource:

ShotGenerator - Photography automation tool that executes a three-stage orbital capture

ShotGenerator​

Photography automation tool for Virt-A-Mate that executes a three-stage orbital capture sequence (Wide, Mid, and Close-up) around a specific Atom (usually a Person). Generates screenshots at user-defined angular increments with independent control over target bones, vertical offsets, camera elevation angles, and aspect ratios for each stage.

Hey, could you share the scene from the video, or the RingLigth that you are using?
That illumination on the character is awesome

Hey,

I totally can. I'm actually in the process of figuring out the best way to share my HDRI setups (like this one). Skymagic Loader plus is one part of it all and the other is linking all the lights to the same rotations and if I use subscenes or not. Anyways, not far off now.

That would be great! any chance we could get 512 and 1024 resolutions added?
After previewing, when i hit F to bring the focus back to the atom, everything is off! i can only bring the person back in view by hitting the preview again.
hitting F multiple times it keeps jumping further and further away, it's weird and makes it difficult to rotate or reposition after using this tool.

also one other thing that would be nice would be the option to change the color of the preview grid, it disappears on a white background.

EDIT: upon closer inspection, it looks like i get a pattern of vertical banding in the darker areas of the saved images. I'm using 1080 which is the same as my display.

i think i realize what's happening with the UI, once you use the plugin, it's all zoomed in so if you do to the main screen, you can only see about 1/4 of the bottom center of the screen.
it makes it really wonky after using it so i pretty much need to close vam and start over if i want to run other scenes.

this is the full screen when i access the hub
