PROJECT - ANYONE???

hi

all the amazing GP4 mod guys etc listen to me here:

i want you to be able to make a camera package, that allows you to sit in the grandstand at each track and watch the race from there.


all you need to do, is pinpoint or get the coordinates for each of the grandstands on the track, then do your 'magic' so that we could watch from any of the grandstands on the track and watch an F1 race from there.


surely this is possible.

also, the panning action when u sit in the cockpit of the car could be incorporated so when u r in the grandstand u can look left and right.

could this be attempted or tried please??

Try it yourself! Download the Cameditor and experiment.

Problem is to do this, we need stationary cameras, which I think isn't possible, but i'm not sure

oh Lauri....where are you...???

DO IT YOURSELF!!!

if i could do it myself or knew HOW to do it why would i post here dufass!

Cameras are bound to cars and not trackside objects.

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

Qwerty was wrong in statement. CamEditor unable to edit trackside cameras. Ianwoollam right in the facts that some trackside cameras has special behaviors such as auto zoom and selected car tracking.

Change trackside camera to be able to selected by users is possible with three limitations:
1) No good methods to find when a camera position is in grandstand or else. Each track has different position for trackside cameras.
2. Change camera projection (zoom, dolly, etc) may changes the behaviour of car shadows.
3. I'm not interesting to implement this.

In reality, doesn't matter who's right but most important is who's left.

Yeah, people please dont shout DO IT YOURSELF! when:

A) He wouldnt have posted here if he knew how to
B) Its not possible so how can you?

Im starting to get quite angry with people here, CANT YOU USE YOUR BRAIN?

i dont fully understand.
you want track based tv cameras to appear as if they are sitting in the grandstand?
shouldnt be impossible should it?
track camera positions are supposedly easy to change.
you could remove them all so theres only 1. or put them all in the same place so you could 'sit' in the grandstand all weekend and only see the cars when they pass you.
i htink i have original cameras, but they switch to the nest camera too early.

as for people shouting 'do it yourself' its fair enough for an old question, but this is something new and offered as a project.

Yes but the camera won't stay still, it'll follow the selected cars movement all around the track whilst zooming in and out constantly.

it will be something like ghost mode.

One thing is sure: You can't do this with cameditor

The only way i see to do that is changing all track cameras with Paul Hoad's beta Track Editor, putting each of them in one stand.

And don't even think to be able to rotate the trackside camera by yourself, it's sci-fi

No you couldnt, you surely could edit the track camera (ok not with any editor yet but still) and create on that stays in one position and follows the car all the way around therefore acting like ur head sortof :s

But why? Seems like a lot of work for hardly any result. Surely you must have better things to do with your life than to watch a gp simulation from one point.

Also, you will find you get much better results if you ask for information rather than demand someone else builds something for you.

i want you to be able to make a camera package
