Working with the comp camera for Zaxwerks Invigorator can be a pain. When trying to work with your comp from views other than "active" reveals that Invig doesn't display in these views, and it can be tough to orient the camera properly without knowing where it should be pointing.

So I wrote a script that creates a widget to go along with Invigorator models.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
-Create your Invig Layer and apply your object to a "set" inside invig, making sure to select "Use Comp Camera"
note: if you are importing a 3D object, it is not specified to a set by default. (i believe type is though) - be sure you specify a set for each model you want a seperate widget for.
-Select your invig layer in the timeline
-run the script
-choose the set you want the widget for
-work in seperate views without the headache.


I'm not sure if this works with Invigorator versions besides "Pro" - I only tested in Pro 4.0.3.


Cheers,

Just a quick bump to let everyone know that there has been a quick edit to the file - it was lacking a test to make sure the name of the original layer isn't too long to create the precomp with (can only be 31 bytes) - same download spot though - thanks!
