*GASP* Woa!!! This is truly amazing! GPL never looked this good!!! I bet the Papy guys will really love seeing how good GPL looks with this camera system. The camera action makes it all even more realistic. Awesome job!

Ah jesus, that movie is absolutely fantastic! Must be an awesome util :) "Andre Warringa" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I've seen these types of GPL camera's in a couple of the GPL Mpeg movies but I haven't a clue how to do such a thing... The default TV camera's are located in a fixed position and are focused on a fixed part of the driver selected. You can zoom and tilt the cameras as well as have them placed in another fixed position. However, that's all the editing I've found you can do. The movie you have here, the camera's are not fixed in one position and are not focuses on any part of a driver. example, the Silverstone and Spa TV camera's appear to be fixed on a helicopter and can change focus points as if you were using a joy stick to manipulate the camera/helicopter. How the hell is that done!?! I have many replays where I'm focused on one car with some exciting action, and a second later there's action with another car up ahead. currently I have to switch driver focus and switch camera's to get the right angles I want. and that takes a lot of time all the while the action of the second car is going away. Your non specific focus points suggests I could simply use a joystick and watch both cars by moving the fixed camera positions smoothly as if I'm a camera man in real life. Hope I'm explaining things right. another example is the roll bar views in your application. I can switch from three different views but each one is switched as if I'm switching camera's instead of smoothly moving one camera on the fly. There has to be a way to do this obviously, so just how is it done!!??!! frustrated, Michael A.

I'm pretty sure they'll never be a GPL2, but, given the beautiful carsets, tracks, and utils like these written by totall GPL enthusiasts, who cares?? ;-) Jonesy Remove "ANTISPAM" when replying. GPLRANK (F1): +65.95 "Andre Warringa" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

'Flying' cameras in most other movies come from using one car as a camera car. If you set a car cam with no view of the car it's on, it looks like it's floating. Shown to good effect in Sam Dobie's movie. What you can do then is drive it round to get the views you want, like setting up an AI race, starting the the back and trundling down the side of the grid with a cam that points at 90 degrees away from the side of the car. That gives you a nice tracking grid view. > > The default TV camera's are located in a fixed position and are focused > on a fixed part of the driver selected.

I've done it on some of my track cams. You can set several cameras in a line and have the change over points at, say, 20m intervals so as the car gets closer the view switches to the next camera. Easy enough to get a camera view crossing the track but it's a little jerky and you're limited to 64 cams in a TV set. Like this http://www.molbiol.ox.ac.uk/~kclark/cam.jpg > > The movie you have here, the camera's are not fixed in one position > and are not focuses on any part of a driver. example, the Silverstone and > Spa TV camera's appear to be fixed on a helicopter and can change focus > points as if you were using a joy stick to manipulate the camera/helicopter. > How the hell is that done!?! He's worked out that you can move the pitcam by using a script that allows you to 'fly' it using the wheel and pedals. Cool eh? :) I've suggested something similar to him for the normal track cams. Apparently that's his next project. If he can work out how to preprogram a track camera to move along, the replays will be amazing! Kev

Maybe this text from Peter's site will clear things up a bit: Currently I am extending the Car Camera Manager with a lot of new features, because it is not only car camera stuff anymore I will rename it to Camera Control Master: My plans for the upcoming versions are: Next version: - User control of car cameras by mouse and steering wheel. This will be available on the "roll bar" camera (already did mouse and it looks great) - Camera effects by user script defining a movement. This will be available on the "roll bar" camera. (already did it and it also looks great) - Synchronisation of user control and effects with GPL2AVI (already did it) - User control of the pit camera (already did it) - Multiple file support (not done yet) - Launch buttons for the most important utilities and of course GPL itself (not done yet) Later version or next version: - Saving camera positions, to use the manager also as editor - Saving also screenshot with it (have to investigate) - Management of track camera files including TV1, TV2 and Pit camera. (have to investigate) - Things that I can not think of now. After that: - Trying to lower my GPL rank. I expect to release the Camera Control Master in november.

That's what I was talking about! user controlled camera's with the mouse and et.. anyone have a time machine handy? I want to jump forward a few weeks ;-) -- Michael A.

I want to jump forward a few weeks ;-) Just wait a couple of years until they invent the machine, than copy the software and jump back to now.
