Shot Generator
Automation tool for Virt-A-Mate that executes a three-stage orbital capture sequence (Wide, Mid, and Close-up) around a specific Atom.It generates screenshots at user-defined angular increments with independent control over target bones, vertical offsets, camera elevation angles, and aspect ratios for each stage.
I created this to help with automating my releases and showing the detail of the model.
HOW TO USEConfigure ShotsSet target, distance, height, elevation, orbit start angle, and aspect ratio for each shot (Shot 1/2/3). By default, only Shot 1 is enabled. Enable additional shots as needed. When disabled, the shot's button is hiddenSecondary PersonOptional - Select another person from the scene to shoot both subjects together. The camera will target the midpoint between the primary person's target bone and the secondary person's same target bone. If the secondary person doesn't have that bone, it falls back to their root position. Set to NONE to shoot single personOrbit Start AngleSet the starting position for the orbital capture (-180° - 0 - 180°). Useful for starting from a specific anglePreviewAdjust any slider or dropdown to automatically enter preview mode for that config type. The camera moves instantly to the preview position. Click anywhere outside the UI or click the HIDE GRID button to exit preview mode. By default, the camera stays at the preview position when exiting. Enable "Restore Camera on Exit" to return the camera to its previous position instead.Single ShotsClick TAKE SHOT [X] button to capture a single screenshot using current settings. Saves to session's SingleShots subfolder (if a session exists) or standalone SingleShots folder. Uses incremental numbering (001, 002, etc.). Can be taken anytime.Center CutOptional - Enable Center Cut to see where external programs (like social media feeds) will crop your image. The green border shows the center crop zone. This is purely a visual aid - it doesn't affect saved screenshots. Choose the ratio that matches your target platform (default 1:1).CaptureSet orbit increment (e.g., 45° = 8 shots, 30° = 12 shots) and resolution (longest dimension, 720-7680px).
