🎥 Camera Director — Slopsmith plugin · v3.4

cameradirector.mp4

🇬🇧 English · 🇪🇸 Español

Floating panel to control the 3D Highway camera in real time — orbit, pan, zoom, tilt, height — for the guitar, drum and piano/keys highways, with a shared named-profile library and bilingual EN/ES UI. Under split-screen each panel gets its own camera, and you can steer popped-out panels (on another monitor) right from the main window.

Install

1. Copy this folder into your Slopsmith plugins directory:
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\slopsmith-desktop\plugins\camera_director
   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/slopsmith-desktop/plugins/camera_director
   • Linux: ~/.config/slopsmith-desktop/plugins/camera_director
2. The bridge (Slopsmith 0.2.x): the camera won't move until you apply the bridge — run bridge/install_modded_screen.bat (Windows, with the app closed). From Slopsmith 0.3 this step won't be needed (the bridge ships built in); meanwhile it's required.
3. Restart Slopsmith, open a song with the 3D Highway, and click the 🎥 chip (or press `).

Use

Toggle Free camera ON, then drag the highway — drag = orbit · Shift = pan · Ctrl = zoom · Alt = height · wheel = zoom. Tap any value to type it exactly. Save any camera as a named profile and apply it on any panel.

Split-screen

When you split the player, the panel row at the top of Camera Director lists each panel by name (name panels in the Split Screen bar). Click a panel to target it; the panel you're editing is highlighted and the currently-focused panel is underlined. Camera edits apply to just that panel.

• Profile dropdown — apply a saved named profile to the selected panel.
• Link all panels — mirror one camera across every panel (tweak once, applies across the board).
• Apply to all — one-shot copy of the current panel's camera to the rest.

Popped-out panels (multi-monitor)

Pop a panel out to its own window and it still appears in the panel row (marked italic with a ⤢) — select it to steer that window's camera from the main window, live. You can also drag directly on the popped-out window's canvas (arm its Free camera from the main window first). Everything persists to local settings.

Changelog
