MachinimaCam soon to be released!
Yep. I’ve been wanting to do machinima for a wile now, but anyone that attempts it knows how much of a pain in the ass it is. Especially since you can’t do much with that interface hidden. Well my cam comes around the problem nicely, using keyboard shortcuts to control the effects and the visibility of the cam HUD. I won’t tell more! It will be available soon for a nominal fee, will come in two versions; personal and professional. The personal version will be low cost but with just 6 basic effects, and will cost around 500L. The pro version will come loaded with at least 16 dazzling effects, like Spiralcam and Twistercam, and maybe even more. I’m spewing 5 new effects a day lately. The pro bundle will be more costly, how much is yet to be determined, but will come with life long free upgrades adding more and more effects, and technical support and help. I am also writing a Machinima guide which will come along with the Pro version but I must say that the HUD comes with automated live instructions. It tells you precisely what to do and when to do it.
While I release this baby, please feast your eyes on that little machinima of myself scripting this device, with a nice soundtrack from Marquez Tone!

Aaargh! We want more! We want more! I hate this part of marketing, showing parts but not all… *frustrated Vint*
Sweet. I’m always interested in machinima tools out there. Good luck! I would love it if you dropped me an email when it’s ready, in case I miss your blog… if not, I’ll just keep my eyes close to your posts. (chris@electricsheepcompany.com)… would also be great if you listed it on http://shop.onrez.com/ which is where I find all my new toys. (I don’t mean to be overtly pimping OnRez, which my company owns, I just love to find new toys on there).
@Vint: you know me! im the queen of suspense
i still have a few features to add, then some debugging. one feature i MUST add before releasing anything is the facing cam possibility. and believe me, its complicated to do. i must determine the direction where the avatar is facing using position and rotation offset, then set the cam to point toward the same rotation angle. it’s pure hardcore maths, and i’m still struggling a bit with it. but it’s feasible, shoudn’t take me too long. when this feature is implemented, i will add it as a toggle, so this will be integrated with effects that requires it, like Facecam, Travellingcam and so on. Be sure that you will be the first one i call for beta testing dear Vinty!
@Satchmo: wow what an honor knowing that the ESC guy is reading my humble blog! i will email you when it’s ready and i will revive my old SLboutique account to put it online. and don’t worry, pimpin is free here, I won’t send OnRez a bill for viral marketing
