Spectator Camera (Desktop View)

Output a clean view to a monitor for screen capture.

The Spectator Camera does not record images or video. It outputs a view to your monitor.

To record it, use screen capture software. That software is outside Open Brush.

Why you’d use it

It’s the only camera that can show:

• The full environment

• UI tools

• Camera paths

It’s also good for “stroke-by-stroke” creation footage.

Modes

The Spectator Camera has four modes.

• Headset: The headset view. It moves with your head.

• Stationary: Place a camera in the scene. Or hold it like a handheld.

• Figure 8: A continuous figure-8 around a fixed point.

• Circle: A continuous horizontal orbit around a fixed point.

Audio notes

Some audio sources can’t be captured due to DRM/DMCA restrictions. Spotify is a common example.

Your microphone recording is not affected.

Strengths and limitations

Strengths:

• Easy, repeatable motion (Stationary/Figure 8/Circle).

• Shows controllers, headset, and tools.

Limitations:

• Requires external screen capture software.

• Field of view in Camera Options does not affect the Spectator Camera.
