How can I use the video recorder to record from the first person view of the operator?
The easiest way to do this is to tell the view to follow the operator before telling it to record.
If you want to start following at certain point during the model run then you would have to use the function_s api.
- function_s(view, "follow", object); // Pass in NULL to stop following
- function_s(view, "setFollowRotate", boolean);
- function_s(view, "setFollowFirstPerson", boolean);
Another tricky thing is that the video recorder creates its own hidden 3D view on which you also need to call follow.
If this is my 3D view:
- VIEW:/some/path/Perspective
The hidden 3D view will be something like this:
- VIEW:/some/path/Perspective/RecordingPopup2412423376/recview
I will change this so that follow will call itself on the hidden 3D view. This change will be in the next bugfix: 17.2.4
