this is a little gizmo that creates a nice CameraRig for Stereoscopic work. the key here is that it is very easy to setup, with a poi and a cam_position you can drop it on any motion path.

Compatibility: Windows
camRig version 1.0
this is a 3 camera rig, it automaticly points to the center of interest. you only need to animate 2 points in space,
the camera position (like a dolly) and the point of interest. the cameras rotate around all axis automaticly so that
the poi is always in the center of all 3 cameras.
you can even check your view easily by using the center camera. it has a seperate node to adjust the eye distance.
because a gizmo has no multiple outputs (or maybe i am to stupid to find it) you need to copy it into a group.
this should look like this:
you can now setup your cameras completely with the nodes in the green backdrop and you don't need to
touch the cameras seperately. i hope you people like it and maybe it makes your work a little easier.
if you like, watch my little tutorial video for this .gizmo you will find it here: http://vimeo.com/18269803
maybe i have posted the direct link in here correctly but i have no idea how this web thing html stuff works so maybe you don't see it in here ;-)
a last little thing, there are a lot of strange expressions in there coz i have no idea how the syntax for a propper if,then,else string should
look like, i do things like division by 0 and other bad things, it works but it is not nice. if there is a coder out there who could give me a hint how
to write this propperly i would really appreciate. i don't want to ask frank constandly ;-)
