Albert VDS Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Going through the thread again:Ah, was going to get round to this but it has been done for me! thanks!Pan & tilt via action groups for the current camera is the only thing I'd want - robotics mods are not really the solution if you plaster something with cameras.Pan and tilt is being worked on. Oh thank you, it finally works! (runs off to stick one on every rover).Could there be another way to exit the camera view? "Esc" brings up the pause menu and shows a kind of spastic view while at it -- the original MuMech did that too, but only for an instant, as it didn't pause. Pressing C, which normally switches you out of IVA, doesn't work, and neither does V which switches between stock camera modes, both would be good candidates for exit-out-of-camera-mode key.Next update adds the V key to switch to 3rd person view.I'm also looking into black and white cameras, possibly heatvision and nightvision.

Albert VDS Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 @Skirkut: Any progress on the camera models? I can imagine that you might be too busy with IR though, so no rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to download one of the mods provided in the original post, right below where it says:This plugin works with parts from (make sure you don't use MuMechlib.dll):I have a custom part modeled and skinned that will be included with this plugin provided Albert VDS approves it.

Here's a screenshot of the KerbPro. The orientation of the lens is the orientation of the view too so it's not centered. Had a blast using it with the robotic parts.

nothke Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Hay guys, I was intending to make a camera pack with all the famous (but Kerbalized) space cameras like the Hasselblads, Canons, IMAX, vidicon tubes and CCTV hullcameras (like those used on shuttle, similar to yours albeit in an aerodynamic housing), that were used throughout history.They would all have different functions, some could be used as EVA cameras (Hasselblads), some as hull, some would have giant zoom capabilities some not, depending on the lens.. I was also intending it to have a screenshot system like BOSS, and if it would be possible to add some effects (more contrast, different color balance etc.) to look like the real Hasselblads that'd be amazing.I am pretty busy with the Kerbal City community Project and KASPAR at the moment, but would love to make the models one day.

Mihara Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 While those camera models are nice, I would love to also see a model that would not pretend to be a converted point-and-shoot, though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ledenko Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, some time ago I made my own model as can be seen here: KerbonTech HullcamIt was my first KSP model so it's a bit weird, but it's been so long I don't even know if I could repair it. Download linkI'll just put this here again and plug my own model - the model is made to look aerodynamic instead of a point and shoot camera.

quietsamurai98 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 In the future, I would love to see an included camera that looks like this:I believe that the camera shown is for a model rocket, which actually are powered by a bunch of SRBs.

sirkut Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 After I finish two more Infernal Robotics models I will create a non handheld camera if anyone cares to use it. I'll see if Albert would like to include it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, you can't have more than one servo per part, but there shouldn't be any problem having a camera be part of a model that is also a servo, and as long as it has a mounting node on the bottom and fits on a rotatron, it's an ideal rover camera.

There's no reason you can't have multiple of the robotic parts attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyratel Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 problem with the lazor cam though is it comes with all the overhead of Lazor itself. which does things I don't always want - it nukes the launch clamps on launch (for reasons of its own)that said, I do prefer having it as a separate window onscreen. if someone could fork out the camera code for it from Lazor, it would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
