  • Watermarking Active Camera

    Posted by Aaron Martinez on May 6, 2015 at 2:19 pm

    Hello,

    I am using C4D as a pre vis tool to create storyboards for a film.
    Using the STAGE object, I am cutting between several cameras.

    I would love to display specific camera information.
    – Camera Name
    – Focal Length
    – Focal Distance
    – F-Stop

    Using the WATERMARK render effect I can easily display the Camera Name.
    I am curious to know if there is a way, presumably using XPRESSO, to access and display the specific Camera info without having to keyframe it manually when the camera cuts…

    That is to say I am looking for tips on developing an expression that would automatically display the desired info like a watermark. I am confident I can figure out the channeling an output into an onscreen watermark like text.

    But i do not know how to access the desired active camera information…

    any tips would be appreciated… I want to say Lists may be helpful, but i never really understood them…

    I found a solution…

    in Render Settings / Watermark / Text field there is a triangle button.

    Click that and a menu of variables pops up.

    You can set among other things C4D version info, System, Project, Render and CAMERA SETTINGS.

    Works great!
