Add Image Plane
Another tool created directly from having to track plates in postvis. You can often setup and track several shots a day so automising aspects can be useful. This UI allows the user to select the image sequence and add it to the camera, reduces the clicks and having to constantly dive into the attribute editor.
Having footage always helps when designing and building tools, this plate was shot on holiday in Hawaii back in 2019 before the world fell off a cliff.
I like everything to be clearly named in Maya, nothing worse that ‘imagePlaneShape1’ when searching…
The user can add a single image or a standard image sequence form the UI. I designed it so the image plane used is the name the node gets, so it’s easy to find or script from that going forward.
