Changelog

v2.4 (2022-08-22) by Alezia Kurdis

• Fixed a bug in HMD where the rear-facing camera was pointed to the tablet instead of the scene.
• Replaced the camera model by a new one (nicer and less heavy, 198k instead of 576k, less but more optimal polygons, 1 PBR material.)
• Rebranded the tool: Camera Snap-Pro
• Replaced the icons for something more easy to identify as a device to take picture ("camera"), as an advance version of the "Snap" app.
• Added a notice in the settings page to informe the user about the trigger on the thumbstick of the right VR hand controller.

v2.3 (2019-10-15)

• Removed unnecessary tone curve correction present in captured Tablet Cam output image.
• Adjusted y-offset of Desktop-mode selfie cam to better serve Virtual You avatars.
• Added "Head" as a backup joint to "HeadTop_End" for certain operations.

v2.2 (2019-07-09)

• Fixed a hack in which the secondary camera feed was darkened to compensate for it being rendered too light.
• If your camera looks too light, it means you have an older version of Interface (pre PR #15862) and should go back to the previous version of this script.
• If your camera looks too dark, it means you have a newer version of Interface (post PR #15682) and should update to the current version of this script.

v2.1 (2019-06-27)

• We've moved the code for this project into a new remote folder, which necessitated a version bump. There are no changes to functionality.

v2.0 (2019-04)

I've made some huge changes in v2.0!

• In Desktop mode, when using the rear-facing camera and while you're using Third Person Camera, Tablet Cam will now be parented to Interface's Third Person Camera!
• The camera's viewpoint can now be detached from its default position! Snap a photo from a unique viewpoint.
• Fixed a bug that caused zoom settings to be saved incorrectly between restarts.
• Fixed a bug that caused the camera preview to show up as a corrupted image in HMD mode.
• Fixed a bug that caused the position of the rear-facing camera to be incorrect in HMD mode.
• Switched Overlay usage to Local Entities.
• Now you can use Tablet Cam in Desktop mode while "Desktop Tablet becomes Toolbar" is unchecked - although I'm not sure why you'd want to do that. :)
• Fixed some interface bugs.

v1.1 (2019-02)

• Fixed a bug that caused Tablet Cam to erroneously appear on the Tablet after switching domains when it was previously active.

Tablet Cam v1.0 (2019-01)

• Tablet Cam v1.0 is an update to Selfie Cam v1.0. It is a complete overhaul of the app. All of its features are new!

Selfie Cam v1.0 (2018-12)

• Initial Release!
