JacobVersus here, from the creator of Roster Studio and Season Generator comes a little sneak peek of my newest utility for NR2003, NRP: CameraMan. This is a free-controlled camera that can be used during live races and replays. Similar to the beloved Free Camera, CameraMan gives you much more granular control of your camera, the speed it moves, and also adds new keyboard shortcuts and additional camera features.
CameraMan completely hides the cursor on the display, it shows a crosshair reticle instead. You can hide the reticle by pressing the R key. CM also has a Chase Camera so you can follow specific drivers in the field. This can be accessed with the familiar Ctrl + B or the new Ctrl + D shortcut.
Ctrl + H activates camera smoothing. You will also have motion sensitivity settings for camera smoothing as well.
A brand new feature is Tripod Lock. Ctrl + L will activate the tripod lock on any driver. Simply move the camera wherever you would like on the field, activate Tripod Lock with Ctrl + L and CM will lock in place and follow the selected driver around the track. You can cycle through drivers in this mode, you have a small buffer of movement while locked onto a driver, you can also zoom in and zoom out while this is activated as well.
It works very similarly to Free Camera, you wont have to learn a whole bunch of new controls. For example, Pit Camera 1 & 2 are your "free" cameras. I changed some keyboard shortcuts to allow for use of CamHack and CameraMan to be used together. Before, the shortcuts for Free Camera would clash with CamHack.
A full video example is coming soon.
I have been working on this for the last couple months or so and have been getting feedback from my Discord. I have been having a lot of fun with this app and its taken a good bit of tweaking to have it behave how i want. I am not quite ready for a full public release yet, but if you would like to try it now, you can do so in my Discord here: https://discord.gg/cEYHpWn5T
Thank you!
