Quick Start

1. Install and enable ShotPath in Blender.
2. Open the ShotPath tab in the 3D Viewport N-panel.
3. Add a Path Rig, Free Rig, preset rig, or Blend Rig.
4. Place shot markers or use a preset to create your move.
5. Build the path, animate the camera, and add timeline cuts as needed.
6. Render with the live rigs, or use Bake Master Camera when you want one clean camera for final render or handoff.

Basic Workflow

Path Rigs are best for moving camera shots that follow a spline path.

Free Rigs are best for stationary cameras, handheld-style shots, or cameras mounted to moving objects.

Preset Rigs create common camera moves such as Orbit, Dolly, Crane, and Slider setups.

Blend Rigs let you interpolate between multiple rigs using one slider.

Cut Sequencer lets you arrange multiple camera rigs as a timeline sequence.

Optional Master Camera Bake converts the final sequence into one sampled camera for cleaner rendering, export, or handoff.
