Part to Camera CFrame plugin

This is a super basic plugin, but one I found myself needing all the time! If you want to use parts as placeholders for how you’re going to position the camera later on, you want to position the part exactly right for that view.

Introducing… Part CFrame to Camera CFrame (I know right, catchy?!), basically, just select a part, position your camera to the desired view, then click the button in the plugins bar and voila, the part is in the same place as your camera view!

get it while stocks last!

How many useful things have you and all the other members of the DevForum made so far?

I lost count!

It would be very neat if this could also place my camera at the current selected part’s CFrame.

I’m just releasing the plugins I make for my own selfish needs!

Good plugin, although some PluginAction support would be useful for me.

This is such a time saver, especially for any developer that uses the camera in something like a menu or cutscene. Keep it up! :smiley:

Oops, that print is left over from another plugin I made lol, easier to keep the basic button stuff and then edit the rest. (I’ll remove it when I get the chance)

Surface GUI Autoscale, right?

Yeah!

Use that one occasionally too. Keep up the good work.

Yes, this is quite a useful feature. However, this will not place your camera at the precise CFrame of the part.

My bad! I couldn’t think of a use case for your camera being at a part’s exact cframe, so I inferred that you meant an orbital type thing not too disimilar from what blender does.

Considering you’re a programmer yourself, I suggest just forking the plugin and modifying it to better suite your own needs and those similar to you :).

Already did a quick command for it, but it would likely be useful for other users.

When taking screenshots, you could position your camera, place a part where your camera is and not be afraid to move your camera around because you could just set it back to where you placed the camera so your angle doesn’t change.
