Hi, I gave a shot to a relatively big exterior, to see how this could work with the tool.
Worked better than expected. Even if the camera is lacking “fly by” controls, it was pretty easy to move around the set, using the “move cam target to under mouse geo” Left Control + Middle mouse Click. All features were pretty usable on an exterior also.
In the video you can see some alternative use for the Bases/Turntables, adding, for example, a Directional Light so you can benefit from the already built z rotation feature, rotate light direction in one axis, which is better than nothing. Republic RT is lacking plenty of features from the first demo, 2 years ago. I would love to have all that, and more, but I would “never” release the tool for the first time… I was forced to cut on features, so I could get a working release asap, this is my priority.
If at some point it gets released , and it kinda works, people finding it useful, I will love to add other features, like a light rig, extended Postprocess, some interactions with sequencer and so on…
This finishes my current “beta testing” phase. It is time now to “stop having fun”… and jump straight to complete the master Base/Turntable and propagate until all 5 bases are working as expected.
This might take some time. I will be back with some update when these behaviors are achieved.
Best, and as usual, I hope you like it.
