This feature is great but without ability to orbit camera without
leaving camera view it has limited functionality. And no, I don't use
fly mode, because I get airplane sickness.
Let's imagine that real life cameraman has to leave his cam and walk
around some scene to see it from a different
Thanks Campbell! this is really nice !

Hi Bassam,
Well, I know that I can use cursor as pivot but that's not exactly the
same as usual view orbiting, isn't it?
First of all, it's completely reversed. Second, to zoom and pan, you
can't use regular view shortcuts (that is Shift+MMB and Ctrl+MMB) but
you have to make sure you have cam
hi, I won't argue this on the list since it's down to personal
preferences, and I am not against the feature you want *as an option*.
personally, I hate using view controls for camera manipulation (maya
does this) as it makes constantly 'ef up my cameras when I wanted to
change my view. And I
Hi Cam,
Checked on patch and forum reviews. Improvement could be like;
- make drawtype option for empty 'Image', which will show new buttons
- without image block linked, it just draws the 1x1 unit square in wire.
Matt's thoughts doubts on BA are still very valid, but for both the
analysis as
What just happened?
I'm guessing the original patch for camera guides got rejected. But it
seems people think that bg images for empties is a replacement for it?
why is this? And why is it cool to override Empties with a gazillion
draw types, but somehow this is bad design for Cameras?
If the
Bassam i think the empties thing is totally unrelated, we still have
to solve the guides thing. I dunno.. i like the current patch a lot, i
use it every day. Maybe people are over thinking this? In any case if
fox was working on configurable guides with presets, why did he stop?

Agree they are unrelated (except the case where Camera images could be
made to force foreground and overlay some reference).
I only mentioned it because the topic came up on this thread.
There is still a case for having this feature, Michael and I just
disagree on how it should be done, in fact

suggests camera BG images to have a FG option.
This sounds best to me! Especially if camera bg/fg images support
alpha (not sure if they do atm)

they do :) and I agree, sounds pretty good, specially since we now can
layer multiple BG images and the foreground option has been a long
time request by many

Speaking of the background image, it is already possible to translate and
scale the background image in other views (eg. Side, Top, etc.), just not
the camera view. So I imagine it would be pretty easy to implement it so
that it works for camera view too. The opacity setting controls
Don't let rotation sneak out the window. I've often wished I could angle a

foreground images has to do with general reference material, not one to one

With the py-rna attributes view_camera_zoom and view_camera_offset
from the cycles branch one could easily implement this as a modal
operator without having to patch the source.

wasn't sure if for activated title safe zone, the guides (and ratios)
go within that.. *shrugs*
Lars' and Daniels patch sure looks nicer with the alignment option of

6. Campell's idea of using (abusing?) Grease Pencil for this has its merits.
I'm not entirely sure if the aspect ratio change is such an important use
case. Most projects, I'd think, set the aspect ratio at the beginning of the
project. Worst case is you have to re-import the guide.
