Prolific plugin creator Fenric has released another helpful Carrara addon called MOVE TO CAMERA, and that is exactly what it does: selected items in the Assembly Room hierarchy are moved directly in front of the current rendering camera.
This release raises the total number of plugins offered on Fenric’s web store to eleven, several are free.
In my tests the base of the objects were moved more or less to sit directly in view of the render camera. Interestingly, the objects did not appear to be positioned in relation to their hotpoint, and some items were moved near to, but not directly in front of the camera. Clearly the purpose of the plugin is to make finding and repositioning objects in your scene easier, and should be helpful to anyone who creates large scenes with many objects.
A trial version of MOVE TO CAMERA is available on Fenric’s Downloads page and will work for about 10 minutes before timing out. The plugin license can be purchased for $5
