LookCam Assistant 1.0.4 — UI Structure & Workflow Update​

This update focuses on clean UI structure, improved workflow, and full consistency with PoseSaver’s layout pattern.
The goal was to make LookCam Assistant easier to understand, faster to use, and more reliable — especially in VR.

---

1. New Main Tab System​

LookCam Assistant now uses a clear two-tab layout:

• ⚙ CONTROLS — plugin status, settings, and actions
• CAMERAS — camera list and per-camera controls

This separation makes it immediately clear where to manage the plugin and where to work with cameras.

---

⚙ 2. CONTROLS Tab (Reorganized)​

Designed for clarity and VR usability.


Left side:

• Status text showing current plugin state

Right side:

• ⚙ Actions toggle (top-right, VR-friendly)
• Action buttons (shown when enabled):
  • Manual Capture
  • Clear All Captures
  • Export / Import Captures
  • Copy Current Camera
  • Paste Camera Position
  • Export to Timeline
  • Refresh List

All controls are now grouped logically and consistently.

---

3. CAMERAS Tab (Clean & Focused)​

The camera workflow is now much clearer.


Left side:

• Full list of saved camera captures

Right side (per camera):

• Load
• Edit Triggers
• Rename
• Delete
• Move Up / Down
• Favorite toggle
• Category selector

No nested tabs, no clutter — just direct access to everything you need.

---

4. Edit Triggers View (Simplified)​

Trigger editing has been streamlined:

• ← Back button to return to CAMERAS
• On Enter Trigger section
• On Exit Trigger section
• Simple configuration buttons
• No sub-tabs or unnecessary UI layers

Much easier to understand and faster to use.

---

5. Removed UI Issues & Over-Engineering​

Several problematic or unused elements were removed:

• Removed empty, non-functional search field
• Removed incorrect Controls/Captures split system
• Removed per-camera tab system
• Fixed tab buttons shifting position on click

The UI is now stable and predictable.

---

Design Philosophy​

This update keeps LookCam Assistant intentionally simple with just two core tabs.
The result is a clean, consistent, and easy-to-learn interface.
NOTE: on first capture the tab autoshifts to cam ui so if you notice the "action" buttin dissapear-thats the reason.

---

Current State​

• Plugin compiles successfully
• Tab system is stable
• VR-friendly right-side controls
• Clean layout, no UI drift or glitches

---

Summary​

LookCam Assistant 1.0.4 doesn’t add flashy new features —
it makes the entire plugin cleaner, more intuitive, and more professional(well i hope ).


This update should significantly improves day-to-day usability, especially in complex scenes and VR workflows.

As always please provide feedbacks if i missed something or you have suggestions

LookCam Assistant — Favorites & Category Overhaul Update​

This update focuses on solving one of the biggest challenges in scene building:
managing large lists of camera captures in complex scenes.


With new filtering tools, categories, and UI improvements, LookCam Assistant is now faster and much easier to navigate — especially during recording or animation work.

---

1. Favorites Filter​

A new Favorites Only toggle lets you quickly hide all non-essential captures.


Perfect for scenes where you might have 30–60 shots but only use a handful during final composition or recording.

---

2. Category System (6 Built-In Categories)​

Each camera capture can now be assigned to one of six categories:

• Default
• Scene
• Angle
• Movement
• Close-Up
• Custom

This makes it easy to separate:

• large cinematic scene shots
• small angle tweaks
• movement/transition cameras
• close-up shots for storytelling

---

3. Category Filter Dropdown​

A new dropdown lets you instantly filter the camera list by category.


Examples:

• Show only Close-Up shots
• Show only Movement cameras
• Keep Scene-level shots separate from small detail cameras

This dramatically speeds up navigation.

---

4. Per-Capture “Cat:” Button​

Every camera capture now includes a Cat: button.


Clicking it cycles through categories directly on that capture — no extra windows or menus.


Fast, clean, and VR-friendly.

---

5. Improved Capture Header Display​

Capture entries now show both:

• category
• favorite status

Example:


★ [Scene] 1. Balcony Wide


This makes it immediately clear what type of shot you’re working with.

---

6. Full Persistence (Save / Load / Export / Import)​

Categories and favorites are now saved in:

• the scene JSON
• LookCam’s own export/import files

This means your organization is preserved across scenes, projects, and workflows.

---

7. UI Layout Improvements​

The UI has been reorganized for clarity and better VR usability.

• All camera tools and buttons now grouped on the right side
• Cleaner vertical spacing
• More consistent button placement
• Easier thumbstick navigation in VR

LookCam is now more readable, more structured, and faster to use in real-time scene building.

---

License Update​

LookCam Assistant is now released under CC BY-SA, ensuring compatibility with VaM Hub licensing guidelines and allowing community modification while preserving proper credit.

---

Special thanks to MacGruber, whose UI and utility patterns inspired certain organizational improvements in this update.

Conclusion​

This update makes LookCam Assistant dramatically more powerful for creators who work with cinematic scenes, multi-angle recording, or large shot libraries.
Your workflow should now feel cleaner, faster, and easier to manage — especially in VR.
