Toolkits + Templates CameraMan - Automatic Camride and smooth tracking camera

This looks great. If I want to position the camera behind the figure, how do I rotate it around the figure?

Hey cool plugin!
I have an issue when loading different poses. The camera will look way out of line with the atom. If I quickly reset the camera view it fixes itself though but that's not optimal.
Any idea what it might be? Thank you.

Thanks! Hmm.. haven't seen this issue when loading Pose Presets or timeline animations on my end. How are you loading the poses and resetting the camera that fixes it?
One reason I can think of is maybe if you linked the main SubScene atom (zCameraman) to the atom, that will move the whole rig and misalign it. Else the Target atom TargetPosition should move correctly with different poses.

By default, in 180 and 0 deg modes, the camera will stay on one side based on how you orient the SubScene atom zCameraman. So you can rotate it 180 deg initially so the whole rig is tracking the other side.
If you want it to occasionally switch between tracking from front to back side, that's not possible normally. A more complicated solution is to use Timeline to define you own camera position in animations. See Manual camera animations section in the usage instructions.

The random zoom is applied to the rotation anchor, which makes it go to the sides when the character isn't directly facing the camera.

Really neat, but I'm having trouble getting the 360 mode to work. The camera definitely seems to have more freedom to rotate around when I select 360, but the camera never wants to go behind what it's tracking, even with randomized rotation maxed out.

I've tried using your plugin, but even after following your instructions to the letter (dependencies are downloaded), I can't get the camera to do anything but going crazy
Setting every slider to the max or min doesn't affect anything. To be honest, the only thing that affects the camera is the 360° mode, but that's of no use since the camera keeps rotating everywhere.
I've posted a video of what the camera does after I've added the subscene and initialized the camera, and it behaves this way in every scene.

Have you tried attaching the atom to a person?

Yeap, It didn't change a thing, thanks for trying to help but I ended up using another plugin that did the trick !

Does it do this only when you load Cameraman Subscene into a new scene? Or this happens in the demo scene as well. What if you remove and reload Cameraman into the demo scene?
Several people have reported this but I'm still trying to debug this. Can't replicate this on my side. If you can save a scene where the camera goes around like this, and share the json file, I can take a look.

Hi. What does 'visualize range' option do?

 

[FiraBlue]

Is it possible to add this to an already completed scene? And will this camera "see/show" Post processing effects?

Yes! The How to setup section in description shows how to add it. It just changes view for regular camera using Embody, so you should see all effects that are visible on regular desktop view.
