Gcam is an addon content creators may utilize to make cinematic footage. It is currently not in the modpack. But can be used with the mods outside of session to create content such as cinematic trailers for campaigns or CCOs.
Written highlight of the basics
- Access GCam through the "Open GCam" button in spectator (defunct feature, may be readded)
- Open & Close the GCam interface with "L"
- The three different modes are:
- Follow: Holds the camera in position relative to the selected unit while ignoring its rotation
- Behind: Holds the camera in position relative to the selected unit while copying its orientation
- Focus: Haven't quite figured this out yet
- For following infantry, start with only "Follow" mode enabled. As infantry tend to rotate a lot, "Behind" can be very frenetic and hard-to-follow.
- For vehicles, start with "Follow" and "Behind" modes. This gives you a much smoother camera.
- To exit Gcam, open the GCam interface with "L" (if necessary) and click "Close GCam." This returns you to Potato Spectator, and you can navigate back to the action as needed.
