As well as a slight improvement in the work of the "Global Reset" and "Local Reset" buttons.

v2.8
-- "Pick Align" Tool
Aligns the camera rig position to the point of mouse click in the viewport. With the active snapping mode on vertices, edges and faces, you can align the camera rig to the specified area of geometry. Also very useful for huge scene when you need move camera to extremely big distance.
-- "Look Align" Tool
Rotates the camera look in the direction of the specified object. Allows you to make animation with tracking an object almost like a target camera.
Note: If you already have a complex animation with turns, then this option may not work correctly!
-- Now "Cam Align" presets tool also supported alignment with another Rapid camera

CAUTION!!!

1) NEVER duplicate the "Rapid Camera" with 3ds max standard clone tool!
If you want to create a new "Rapid Camera" with the same animation just run "Rapid Camera" script, create new "Rapid Camera" rig and use "Copy, Paste" animation key frame with "Add Copy Paste Keys" option.

2) NEVER rename the "Rapid Camera" and other rig nodes.

3) ALWAYS delete the "Rapid Camera" with "Delete This Rig" button

Yes

I'd say yes, both him and Christoper B, the fellow who keeps bumping his Fast Art and other tool plugin to the front page.

Spammer

HAHA, your comparison to the Harvard situation is nothing like this. It's about being respectful to other members of the community and not spamming the site with your tools. We all know the only reason you change your cover image is to so your post goes to the front page.

If it wasn't so important to be on the front page then why change your cover photo so much? Exactly my POINT! you're doing it for that reason.

It's unfortunate that doing what you are doing, will eventually ruin ScripSpot.

Think of it this way. You always bump your tool to the front page, which your tool is never updated! So users who are visiting the website see the same tools on the front page over and over again. Making it look like outdated.

So if you could be respectful of the community and kindly quit doing your bumps to the front page it would be appreciated.

What's the problem? ))

If the algorithm of the SS did not prohibit changing the cover, then what's the problem? People are mostly looking for scripts for key words, because what comes first in the list is not always what they need =)
Of course, you can complain on me! =)
It reminds me the story about twin brothers from Harvard who had complains about Mark Zuckerberg =D ;)

At the moment, the rig uses

At the moment, the rig uses only the default camera in the future I plan to implement support VRay camera too.

As the only way out I can advise create VRay camera and attach it to the RapidCamera.

Thanks for comment and for your interest!
