Ctrl UI PCam

Controller selection

These buttons let you quickly select specific parts of the PCam rig for direct manipulation or keyframing

Visibility

These toggles let you show or hide specific rig elements in the viewport for a cleaner workflow

Presets

These dropdown menus let you apply predefined settings to quickly match real-world camera setups

Select all Controller - Selects the entire PCam rig, including all controllers, helpers, and the camera.

Toggle Visibility - Shows or hides all PCam controller objects (e.g. focus guides, UI elements, handles) in the viewport to keep your scene clean and uncluttered.

Toggle viewport settings - Applies recommended viewport settings for working with PCam rigs – enables Depth of Field, hides unnecessary overlays, and optimizes shading for camera work.

Toggle Geometry - Shows or hides rig geometry and overlays, including real-time target and focus distance visualization.

Key - Inserts keyframes for all objects in the selected PCam rig, including position, rotation, scale, and lens settings.

Marker - Adds a timeline marker at the current frame and binds it to the active PCam camera for quick camera switching during playback.

Last Marker - Jumps to the previous timeline marker relative to the current frame.

Next Marker - Jumps to the next timeline marker after the current frame.

Remove Marker - Deletes the timeline marker at the current frame, if one exists.

Camera Presets - Applies a predefined camera profile, including resolution, FPS, Blades, Aspect ratio and sensor size, to match real-world cameras like ARRI, RED, GoPro, or smartphones.

Lens Presets - Applies predefined lens settings such as focal length, f-stop range, anamorphic squeeze, and blade count to simulate real-world lenses.

Resolution Presets - Quickly sets the render resolution to standard formats (e.g. 4K, 2K, anamorphic, vertical) with correct aspect ratios.

Sensor size Presets - Sets the camera’s sensor size using real-world format references (e.g. Super 35, Full Frame, IMAX). Affects field of view and depth of field calculations.

F-Stop Presets - Sets the aperture to common f-stop values

Focal Length Presets -Sets the focal length to standard values (e.g. 24mm, 50mm, 85mm), adjusting the rig's zoom level and field of view instantly.

Focal Length - Adjusts the focal length by moving the camera along its optical axis. This simulates real lens compression and perspective changes based on camera distance.

Vertigo Plane - Click in the viewport to set a reference point. The rig scales dynamically so that adjusting the focal length (via controller) creates a Vertigo/Dolly Zoom effect centered on the clicked location.

Focus controller - Adjusts the position of the focal point object, which determines the camera’s focus distance and depth of field.

Focus toggle - Switches between Target Mode (focal point follows the camera’s target) and Free Mode (focal point can be moved independently).

Tilt controller - Rotates the camera around its Z-axis to create Dutch angles or stylized horizon shifts without affecting camera position or aim.

Target controller - Defines where the camera is pointing. Move or animate this object to change the direction of the camera without rotating the rig manually.

Camera controller - Defines where the camera is pointing. Move or animate this object to change the direction of the camera without rotating the rig manually.

Camera selection - Selects the actual camera object within the PCam rig for direct manipulation, keyframing, or property adjustments in the properties panel.

Target Constraint - Adds or removes a constraint that makes the camera follow a selected object or bone.

Camera Constraint - Adds or removes a constraint to attach the camera rig to a selected object or bone.
