How to Use CamKeys

1

Select Camera

At the top of the CamKeys panel, choose the source of your transformation matrices:

• Camera vs. Viewport: Use the toggle buttons to switch between using a selected camera and using the viewport’s perspective.

  Important: The Baking Function will only work when “Camera” is selected.

  

  
• Lock/Unlock Camera to View: If you’re using the camera (and not the viewport), you can lock or unlock the camera so that it follows your viewport movement.

2

Mesh Objects

This section lets you manage which mesh objects will be affected by CamKeys.

• Adding Mesh Objects: Click the + button to add an object to the tracking list. If the object is rigged, you can optionally select a bone (using the provided dropdown) for more precise control.

• Managing the List: Each object appears in a list where you can enable or disable it individually, move its position in the list, or remove it.

Camera Angles and ShapeKeys

This section is used to capture and manage the CamKeys for the selected mesh object.

• Adding an Angle Item: With an object selected, click the + button to capture the current camera/viewport angle.

  
• Capture a New Angle for the CamKey: Click the 📷 button at right to update the angle stored in the CamKey.

  
• Select Angle Falloff for CamKey: Set how many degrees away your CamKey starts blending your ShapeKey to 1.0.

  
• Enable/Disable Per CamKey: You can turn off the automatic CamKey adjustment per CamKey.

  
• Baking Keyframes: Click the Bake Keyframes button to insert keyframes for the current ShapeKey values over the defined frame range. The addon will iterate through the frames and update the ShapeKeys accordingly.
