Camera Shake Addon v.2 (Camera Shakify)

Jordan Burbank

Hey there, I'm trying to recreate a camera movement from Blender into Unreal Engine. I can create an fbx of the camera movement but any suggestion on how I can import shakify's coding into unreal engine to make sure the shots line up?

Jordan Hilliard

ah figured it out, you have to delete the camera shake action after applying the bake....classic amateur mistake....got the loop working. I looped the keyframes and was like why is this not working, doh! left the camera shake modifier on

Jordan Hilliard

nice figured it out found this on reddit "Select the camera > go to object > animation > bake action > check visual keying > done!" then just have to play with the keyframes at the end to loop which I'm having a little trouble with at the moment.

Jordan Hilliard

you can bake the camera shake addon even if it has drivers?

D1a1v1e1

I'm a smidge late, but if you bake the animation you can loop it the same way you'd loop any other keyframes

Jordan Hilliard

Does anyone know how to loop camera shakify, I tried looking into the drivers but can figure anything out. I tried using manual timing by making a keyframe at the frame beginning and a keyframe at the middle and then a keyframe at the end, but it ends up mirroring the animation.

Jordan Hilliard

you can parent your camera to an object and move the object instead

./blender -b --python-console import bpy bpy.ops.preferences.addon_install(filepath='/root/blender-3.3.1-linux-x64/media/camera_shakify-master.zip') bpy.ops.preferences.addon_enable(module='camera_shakify) bpy.ops.wm.save_userpref() Use ⎈ CtrlD to exit the python console and quit blender.

This script might help, its to install any addon on a headless system running Linu, you can use this to install any addon, the 1st command basically opens up the Blender python console on your remote server instance then the next script bits install your addon, just make sure the addon zip file is uploaded to your linux instance and change the filepath in the script to point to the addon zip, not sure how this works with renderstreet, can you access the python console with renderstreet? Works like a charm for linux headless remote servers ..

Me, too...in 3.3. Thanks for posting the updated link!

I had the same issue but after removing the addon and re-installing the latest version, I'm no longer getting this error. The latest File is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GVw55842OQlWLpq3b-pFvHCniK0vGbi6/view?usp=sharing

I'm getting this error on 3.2, any idea on how to fix it? :3 https://i.imgur.com/UYfXUzT.png

OH JEEZ- sorry everyone! I'd thought I had linked to the github page, so I was kinda wondering why everyone was having such a problem getting the update, but I was literally linking to an old version of the addon! It's all updated in the post, now. Yeah the one that works with 3.2 and all that is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GVw55842OQlWLpq3b-pFvHCniK0vGbi6/view?usp=sharing

Ahh I found it on github! excited to have this back it is a gamechanger!

Hi, I’m having the same trouble with cloud renderfarms. Is there any way to keyframe the constraints? Object -> animation -> bake action just messes things up. Did you find any other solution?

Max Aurnhammer

Cloud rendering. I was using RenderStreet.

immortalartscom

hi what do you use to render in a farm? do you have a local farm or do you use cloud rendering?

Max Aurnhammer

Hey Ian, I'm trying to get Shakify to work in renders I've been doing through a render farm. The camera shake from Shakify doesn't seem to show up in these renders, but the ones from Wobble do. Any idea of why this might be and what I'm doing wrong?

Im pretty sure this is the fixed version Ian referenced above. It works for me in 3.1. https://github.com/EatTheFuture/camera_shakify

David McSween

Oh I just found this too in B3.2. Is it fixed yet? I'll try downloading again

Blaek Creative

We are still waiting ;)

Ian Hubert

AH! Thanks, Carsten!! Actually- I'm realizing Nathan fixed that in the github version, but I need to update it here! Thanks for sharing the fix, though! :D

Carsten Neumann

Hey, maybe its just me, but shakify did not work with blender 3.1 out of the box. Python was complaining that somewere an integer was expected but a float was seen. So after int-casting everything worked for me. If got the same, in the __init__.py in line 209 change: constraint.frame_start = action_range[0] constraint.frame_end = action_range[1] to: constraint.frame_start = int(action_range[0]) constraint.frame_end = int(action_range[1]) Sorry Nathan, for probably ruining your code. :)

kartakim

it remains to add bokeh control and anamorph :) it would be great

stellaachenbach

Thanks for this addon! I love it!

Hans Jacob Wagner

So Shakify is version 2 and Wobble ver. one? a bit unclear naming convention :) from the file size, I would guess the opposite. Must be nice to have a programmer to turn ideas into real development, and not a bad place of choice!! Some drone flight camera moves?! If you haven't done it allready.

WangleLine

Is there a way to turn the camera shake into keyframes?

Arthur Baroni

Super cool :) Thx a lot for sharing :)

Hey found a bug https://i.gyazo.com/7ff08575df95f55f25d51ab6a991d0db.mp4 so if you apply the shake to your project and do shift and pan with the camera you get a wierd result but without its fine.

David McSween

Favorite audio... is screen direction audio "Grab it... GRAB IT!!!!"

Mornarion

That intro was such sweet business XD

Tom Nelson

So much easier then tweaking noise modifier all the time, thanks so much!

Ian Hubert

It's a photoscan I bought on Sketchfab a while back! A really cool scan, though not the cheapest :/ There are lots of pretty fantastic scans of all price ranges over on sketchfab, though. https://skfb.ly/6FNQV

Nick Sushkevich

Hi, Ian! Where's this street scene from?

Simon Scott

Thanks so much for putting this out. It's making such a difference to my current project.

Doug Brown

Awesome... thanks chaps... downloading it now, play with it later.

max pirrit

super handy, thank you! was doing this manually everytime i needed it

Nathan Vegdahl

Thanks for the issue report! It turns out it's because the addon uses a new feature in action constraints that was added in Blender v2.91. So the addon won't work with versions prior to that. I've added an error message in the backtrace that mentions that, for the final release.

Woh, layering the shakes is such a fu***** good idea! Well done to both of you guys.(thumbs up)

Stephan

Very exciting! Amazing work. The amount of time I've spent wiggling curves for shake is...less than it should be but more than I'd like. This couldn't have come at a better time for me. Ian, I did get some tracebacks on 3 lines when I tried to add the camera from the shakify panel. I posted a screenshot and query in the patreon's cg-vfx-help thread on the discord. I can add more context if it's a bug I can help to iron out. Ty! Edit: The issue may have been version related. Traceback was on v2.90. I tried 2.93.0 and shakify was plenty shakey. Will update if I see any other contributing factors.

Pete Burges

This is fantastic- so much more natural than a noise modifier. But the question is: how WOULD you motion capture explosions...?

Brian Mortensen

And yes... I can't animate people (yet) so my guy is just hanging there haha.

Brian Mortensen

This is awesome! It is really nice not having to fiddle with the noise modifier just to get a slight camera shake. I used version 1 (just a tiny bit) in this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46tRH42Cnak

michael w honsinger

You guys are really shaking things up! Very cool ! So that was a martini wasn’t it Mr Bond: shaken not stirred🙄😬

Ian Hubert

Jared nooooooooo he's dead. Hahaha, I hope the addon works well for you!!

Ian Hubert

That's awesome to hear!! Yeah I've been using it on nearly everything! It's been surprisingly useful being able to layer the shakes- super grateful to Nathan for figuring it all out :D

Jared Soto

Ian if you respond to this comment I’ll probably die, love ya dude can’t wait to try out this new add on

Dyrgrip FX

Yay! Can’t wait to try it! Big thanks for developing this! I’ve already used it a ton. It’s really handy and a big improvement from the old noise routine! :)
