Today we’re talking about VirtuCamera, an app that can be used as a virtual camera by connecting an iOS device with a DCC tool like Maya or Blender (under development) via Wi-Fi.
VirtuCamera: an app to use your iOS device as a Maya virtual camera!
The Blender plugin is under development!
VirtuCamera is a very interesting tool to add to your workflow, for layout artists, animators, and 3D artists who need to animate their 3D cameras. As you move your device in any direction, VirtuCamera captures motion and instantly sends it to your Autodesk® Maya® software camera over Wi-Fi.
