Camera Rigger

3ds Max macroscript that parents a free camera to a chain of dummies, following a SIGGRAPH rigging demo.

What Camera Rigger does

Camera Rigger attaches any free camera you choose to a dummy hierarchy, creating a camera rig in 3ds Max. Its method comes from a rigging demonstration at a SIGGRAPH session on Max tricks.

It is installed as a macroscript in the mikes scripts category and has just this one purpose. A dummy-based hierarchy lets different aspects of camera movement be animated on separate controls, such as position, panning and tilting, instead of keying one object. Animators who want a tidy camera setup can use it as a starting point.

Key features

  • Links a free camera to a hierarchy of dummies
  • Based on a SIGGRAPH Max tricks rigging example
  • Installs as a macroscript under mikes scripts
  • Single-purpose camera rigging script
