Comment AUTOCAM and I'll DM you the link.

AutoCam Pro is out.

Keyframing camera moves in Blender is slow, and it still ends up being robotic. AutoCam lets you fly the camera through your scene like a game, then turns that into an editable path and a rig.

Free gets you the move. Pro gets you the shot.

 Realtime Path Steering, to bend the path while the shot plays.

 Camera Morph, to block a shot from poses instead of flying it.

 Lock to Target, so the camera holds a moving subject.

 Path Lookahead, so corners steer instead of whip.

 Smart Auto-Aim, which reads the aim out of your own recording.

 Inherit Original Speed, so a clean path keeps your recorded timing.

 Loop, for cycles with no visible seam.

 Segments, for one move across several curves.

 Pipeline, for every rig in the scene in one list, baked in one click.

 Export to Alembic, USD and FBX.

AutoCam Free stays free forever.

Go build something cool.

Comment "TOOLKIT" and I'll DM you the free course link + an exclusive 25% discount on the full course.

Toolkit Tuesday: Episode 10

Most people try to learn VFX by watching random breakdowns and hoping it clicks. Then they open Blender, try to composite something into real footage, and it looks like it was pasted in with MS Paint.

This free mini-course walks you through the full pipeline- camera tracking, 3D reconstruction, lighting, compositing, and color grading; all built around a single project you can start and finish in one weekend.

Follow for next Tuesday's upgrade!

Comment "TOOLKIT" and I'll send you the free download link.

Toolkit Tuesday: Episode 2

The process of animating cameras in Blender is annoying when you have to build curves from scratch or deal with hundreds of keyframes.

AutoCam lets you record camera movement like an FPS game (WASD controls), then extracts the path as an editable curve. Use it for camera rigs, object motion, scattering, or motion graphics. I built it because I needed it.

Follow for next Tuesday's pick!

ECCV 2026's best paper stores texture colour directly on the mesh surface, so there's nothing to unwrap. The code is MIT-licensed on GitHub.
