Extract path

Submitted by bones404 on Tue, 2012-12-18 13:44

I tend to hand move my cameras, in keymode, then I want to lock them down or smooth their movements with a spline, can a spline be extracted from hand keyed camera movements? If so this would be very useful to people like me.

Try this one

Note: use animated camera 

fn extractTrajectory cam step: startF: endF: =
(
   local slinePaths = SplineShape name:(uniqueName "TrajectoryPath")
   addNewSpline slinePaths
   for t = startF to endF by step do
   (
   		at time t 
   		(
   			addKnot slinePaths 1 #smooth #line cam.pos
   		)
   )
   updateShape slinePaths
)
extractTrajectory $Camera001 step:5 startF:0 endF:100
