Disclaimer: this mod has nothing to do with Aperture Science from Portal games. See the article on what is Aperture actually is.
Aperture is a Minecraft mod which allows you to create advanced camera movement (for cinematics or machinimas) using camera editor GUI. It works with Forge for Minecraft 1.10.2, 1.11.2 and 1.12.2.
Aperture mod provides a lot of features for flexible camera editing.
- Loadable and saveable camera profiles. You don't need to worry about losing your camera setup. With Aperture's camera profiles, you can save your camera setup on the server (if the Aperture is installed on the server) or on the client (in
config/aperture/camerasfolder). - Duration is measured in ticks. A tick is basically an update in game's logic. Minecraft's logic loop running at 20 ticks per second. Why ticks? They're static, while frames depend on framerate, and can be easily converted into seconds (while not depending on real-time).
- Flexible camera setup with multiple camera fixtures within a camera profile. Other camera mods usually gives you an ability to setup only one path at the time. Aperture allows you to have as much camera paths (and not only) as you need to within same camera profile. There are few types of camera fixtures in Aperture:
- Idle fixture – holds camera in given position and angle.
- Path fixture – animates the camera through a set of given points using one of the three interpolations: linear, cubic or hermite. Also supports keyframeable velocity control.
- Circular fixture – circulate around the center point and facing at it.
- Keyframe fixture – allows you create a camera behavior based on specified keyframes (which can have different interpolations and easing).
- Null fixture – a placeholder fixture, which mimics next fixture's first position or previous fixture's last position.
- More camera flexibility with camera modifiers. Camera modifiers are modular blocks which post-process camera fixture's output. With these modifiers, you can add camera shake, apply math equation, make a GoPro-like behavior, look at some entity while traveling a path, and much more combined. See wiki for more information.
- Provides a smooth camera as a Minema-friendly alternative of vanilla cinematic camera.
- Compatible with Minema, if want to record smooth videos on your Potato PC, install Minema mod and record smooth videos!
