Zeus for video content creation

[bullhorn 18]

Thanks to the flying-camera you can have in Zeus, it can be a great tool for creating cinematic scenes.

I would like to request a few features for this purpose:

1) Smoother controls (I'm looking back at Half-Life 1 mods that exist for over a decade. They have flawless flying-camera spectator mode which would allow Zeus to 'operate the camera' better)

2) The ability to completely hide all HUD elements as well as ingame-pointers like the blue friendly safe-zone ring and on-screen markers

3) Mouse cursor should disappear when you right-click to change the angles of the camera

There's probably more ideas to come but I think these should be very simple and efficient.

How about using Splendid Camâ„¢?

I'm kinda new, I've never heard about or used it. I'll check it out.

Thanks.

Here's a nice guide for you :)

Splendid is not exactly smooth if you want to move the camera with the mouse while you are panning it. I also find that for real close up stuff it is too fast.

Maybe I'm just using it wrong.

I mentioned Half-Life because it is extremely old and yet it works amazingly well.

The WASD keys are used to move forwards/backwards/strafe-left/strafe-right. Jump key is 'gain altitude' and duck is 'reduce altitude'.

Mouse movement is changing the direction of view - because Arma has a mouse cursor it should only change the direction when the right mouse button is pressed.

This is really simple and worked 15 years ago, how come we fail to see a simple-but-working free view in Arma than?

The spectator mode has a similar behavior and some cool features like orbiting around a focused point or even unit while it is moving. But it lacks the splendid camera features. I think a good solution would be a combination of both. Splendid camera with spectator mode moving would be great for video content creation.
