Drone Shot
Installation
In Blender open Edit, Preferences, Get Extensions, then use Install from Disk and pick the zip.
Usage
- Open the Drone Shot tab in the 3D viewport sidebar (N).
- Pick a drone, its lens and a flight mode (Cine is the smoothest).
- Select the buildings or objects to film and click Add Selection. In Edit Mode it adds the selected vertices; with nothing selected it adds the 3D cursor.
- Choose a shot for each point (Auto, Orbit, Fly-by, Push In, Rise, Top Down) and, if you like, a hover time.
- Click Plan & Fly. The drone, its camera and the flight path are created and the flight plays through the drone camera.
- Optional: under Start & End use markers for your own start and end or fly back Home; set a fixed Duration instead of Auto.
- Everything else is under Advanced: Flight Settings (speed, safety gap, heights, take-off and landing, fine-tuning of each shot), Camera & Gimbal, Wind & Realism and Display.
