Since its axemess i thought it make a more public release of my camquake client.
Its intended for moviemakers, and an example of the camera paths can be seen in nylons kyu.one video.
Features are you can setup camera fly paths, events along those paths for changing stuff like fov, camera rotation, demospeed etc.
Comments/Requests etc are very welcome and for the ppl who like to flame directly #camquake :>
nad the actual url jogi.netdome.biz

Go jogi! Anyways why not an addon for ezquake, just new client?

this way i can just release shit and dont need to care

noob question: i cant create camera points using the menu... whats the command to actually select an option in mosdm menu ??

jogihoogi - share teh sources and tell us what ezQ version you use for camquake.
may be some features will be ported to ezQ

jogi, great job man. this is a great engine, but please consider integrating it into ezquake and working on it.

the commands to navigate around the menu are mosdm_new_(up,down,left,right)
just read the tutorial

link down? how do i get camquake

where is the tutorial ? D;

Someone, made this thread sticky... or move it to movies section.

www.sfg.se/~04a_jan/camquake_tutorial.html should work..
the tutorial comes with the client, so I uploaded it now

edit: OMG I got a crazy idea, would it work to make this cam-thingy to FTE so you can use the mouse?
since the mouse works in console n shit in FTE I thought it might be possible to do with jogiquake

Camquake Tutorial[/b]


mech tried to write one but oh well i could get my arse up and wrote it my own :>


1. Load the client
2. Load the cammenu/Explanation of the onscreen menu
3. Setting up your first cameras
4. Some more advanced camera tweaking



1. Loading the client


Some people might not thing this is important but it actualy is.

You should at least one time try and run the client in ”-window” mode, because you will then be able to see a second window that some might find usefull for editing the cameras.


2. Load the cammenu/Explanation of the onscreen menu



Once the client is loaded, load up a demo you want to experiment with, and do /demo_setspeed 0

You might aswell do /cl_democlock 3 it will display the demotime in the form of seconds.miliseconds, this is the format the camera start/stop times will be set to.

Now we finaly load the camera menu, type /exec cammenu in the console now you should see a green string on your screen.




To use this menu you have to bind 4 commands

mosdm_new_up – will move the selection up in the menu

mosdm_new_down – will move the selection down in the menu

mosdm_new_left – this will go back one menu step

mosdm_new_right – will select or execute the function bound to the menu

from now on i will refer to those as up, down, left, right.

All previous menus that have been selected will turn purple.

The select one wich you can enter by pressing the right button.

Some menus are toggle menus, where you can only switch between two states mostly on and off, with pressing right or up/down

Other menus are modify menus, there you will see a number wich can be modified with up/down, they are modified by the value specified in the /mosdm_modifier variable.

And even other menus are set menus, those are selected by pressing right they will set certain varuables to a certain value.



3. Setting up your first cameras


A little introduction first,

the Views and Cams are restricted to 40 each and you can select each individual curve thru the number menu the currently selected curve will be shown in a different color,

there can be only one view and cam ran at a time, so setting the start/stop times from 2 different cams to overlapping times will produce random effects,

the views per cam and cams per view dont need to be equal, so you can use n numbers of cams per view and n number of views per cam.

Each curve has 4 points

point 1 is the start point

point 4 is the end point

point 2,3 are control points with whom you are able to bend the curve in any shape you want.



First we set the views/cams to show

right click on the cams -> show menu

it should be set to show off right click or up/down will change that



do that for the view too.


Now fly to a position where you want your camera to start.

Select points->point 1-> set

and it should look like this



now set the end point (point 4)





now you have 2 options

you can make the 'curve' a straight line with the make it straight funktion





or you can set the controlpoints (point 2 and 3) to any position you want



now we set the stop time, you will usualy have to set the start time too but since i only make a short introduction wich will only cover the most important part of any game (the 10 second countdown at the start) the camera will only run from second 0 to second 10.

select time->stop->modify and use up/down to set it to 10.



now the last thing we have to do, is to enable the cam

select enable and press up/down/right to set it to enable on


Now you have to repeat all those steps for the view path, the view path is where you will look at during the camera movement.


When your done with that it should look like this




now do /bezier_cams_enable 1 and let the demo roll




4. Some more advanced camera tweaking


ill do that later :>

// nylon (I think) from http://www.sfg.se/~04a_jan/camquake_tutorial.html (incase the site goes down)

lmao, it won't go down for a couple of years I tell you, but permanent hosting on jogis side wouldn't hurt, since I'm losing my account at school in june, when I quit! \o/

or maybe jogi can port the mouse thingie into camquake

there is a mouse operated menu already, just haven't released it yet check http://jogi.netdome.biz for a quick video (menu api)

yeah, now you tell us jogi
do it!

ok peeps just released a newer version
http://jogi.netdome.biz/camquake.exe

...sources?

Hey Jogi! Can you add project saving capability to your client?

in case that means saving the cams its jogi_bc_writeconfig somename and to load it exec somename

mostest arcane naming system

wait till you get back to the irc chan ! there is a kickban waiting for you !

hehe

Thanks. And how to add camera roll angle, like in kyu.one movie when camera flies through corners, or complete 360° roll?
